Purity 99 Gas Pump Globe

Made in U.S.A. 1950s. Single reverse baked glass lens. Milk glass body. Single-lens gas pump globe for the Purity 99 brand, fitted with a reverse-baked glass lens in a wide-body milk-glass housing. Purity 99 was a Western Canadian gasoline marketer that operated primarily in the Prairie provinces. The company traced its roots to earlier regional oil interests and was acquired by Anglo American Exploration of Calgary in 1953. British American Oil (B/A) purchased the operation in 1963; by the mid-1960s the Purity 99 name had been retired as stations were rebranded. This style of wide-body milk-glass globe with a single reverse-painted lens was a common illuminated identifier used by independent and regional brands of the postwar era. The unmarked American-made components reflect the standardized production methods employed for pump globes during the final decades of traditional glass advertising. Unmarked. Authenticated by The Authentication Company (TAC #Lens TAC: 501849). All items are guaranteed authentic by Miller & Miller Auctions.
