One Piece Baked Globe. An incredible condition and important New Old Stock example of this beautiful One Piece Baked Globe from Sinclair Aircraft Gasoline. Globe was found in its original shipping box from Macbeth-Evans glass Company, Charleroi, Pennsylvania. This beautiful an important piece of Gasoline advertising is most likely the finest example known and is simply stunning and highly eye-appealing. CONDITION: Globe is in absolutely outstanding condition throughout showing an ink stamp in the interior of January 17, 1930. Side one is in absolutely beautiful condition showing cherry red colors with a beautiful and immaculate Airplane graphic. Side one shows only minor factory blemishes as well as some very fine areas of light brown staning at the outer edges but overall simply incredible, Grade 9.25+. Side two is also outstanding throughout showing bright colors with excellent gloss and a beautiful airplane graphic. Side two shows some minor areas of light brown staining on the milk glass, most of which appears removable as well as some minor factory blemishes in the red but overall outstanding, Grade 9.25+. The base as well as body are both in outstanding condition showing no chips, nicks or cracks in anyway and the collar shows what appears to be a factory workers Makers Mark of "AP" done in red. The box is in original but poor condition and shows an address to Barrett Service, Newberry, Michigan from the Sinclair Refining Company, Chicago, Illinois and shows an Ink Stamp stating it is a "Sinclair Aircraft Upright" Globe. A wonderfully clean and exciting example of this wonderful and detailed Globe from Sinclair Aircraft Gasoline, worthy of museum display.
Condition: (9.25+).
