Let me start by saying I'm a pump guy and know nothing about globes other than they go on the top of a gas pump and when dropped are pretty much worthless. I put repro globes on most of my pumps. Pictured is a 15" lens that came in an original metal globe body on a recent pump find. The lens is clearly hand painted and I believe it is not original as I can't imagin a company using such a poorly letter lens. Thought I'd ask the globe experts before I disposed of it. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you, Marshall

This was considered correct , at least for Esso Standard New Jersey Regular gasoline after 1930 . I'm into overall preservation and that means having a pump painted correctly and having all of it's parts . The same goes to buildings as well .
see ya on the road folks !

It looks like someone painted the Esso back on the outside of a lens that had faded out. It's close to factory lettering, with correct proportions but simply home made. Value as a novelty only.

Please note that the red paint is on the back of the globe with white paint over the top.
