Description: For sale is this beautiful and rare original vintage 1939 Texaco Ethyl gas pump globe. You don’t see one of these come up for sale very often. This is a one piece milk glass casting with baked on paint. As you can see inside the base, this piece is marked 10-39, as it was created in October of 1939. Measures approximately 16″ in diameter, with the base measuring 5″ in diameter. Condition: Please see the pictures to evaluate the condition. Overall, this piece is in near mint condition! There are only very minimal flaws, as there is some light scratching on one side, near the top. There are also a couple of white paint drips, which probably occurred from painting something above this globe at some point. These drips could be easily removed with some Goof Off, but I personally like the character. Also, notice the base rim has some chipping, which is normal for this type of globe. This proves the globe was attached to an early gas pump, and the flaws probably occurred upon mounting or removal. This will cover up the chips and add a nice flare to your collection; although, you will want to make sure a base will fit the 5 diameter globe base. We have reviewed among several local dealers to authenticate this piece as an original 1939 creation.
