I just wanted to know some info about the piece. Its missing the back piece of glass. The front has no cracks or chips in it. I was wondering when it was from and how much is it worth. I've never seen a globe with a bracket with the price on it. Is it rare? Thx

Dont know anything about American gas but that globe is probably from the 1930's or 40's. Don't see many of these especially with the price sign, I'd guess value with 1 lense missing is probably $300-$400.
