Richfield was one of the first companies to refine and market motor fuel in the western United States, and by the 1920s, it had become known for its high-quality products and striking advertising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1205\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003eThe company adopted the winged eagle as its logo—symbolising speed, freedom, and the power of flight—at a time when aviation was capturing the public imagination. The Richfield Ethyl branding seen on this globe refers to the company’s premium, leaded petrol infused with the Ethyl Corporation’s anti-knock compound, designed to improve engine performance and reduce knocking in high-compression engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"2024\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1640\"\u003eEthyl Brand Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1643\"\u003eThe term Ethyl refers to tetraethyl lead, a fuel additive developed in the 1920s by the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation of New York. Richfield, like many American fuel companies of the era, partnered with Ethyl to offer motorists a superior grade of petrol that promised smoother performance and better power output—particularly important as automobile engines became more advanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2217\"\u003eThe prominent yellow “Ethyl” badge at the bottom of the globe’s design signified this premium status and was a mark of quality and technical progress during the interwar and post-war years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2521\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2242\"\u003eDesign and Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2242\" data-end=\"2245\"\u003eThis globe features the iconic Richfield shield, framed in yellow with deep blue enamel tones and the word Ethyl in bold script beneath the company name. The winged eagle—one of Richfield’s most recognisable emblems—appears at the top, conveying both motion and modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2523\" data-end=\"2806\"\u003eMade from thick moulded milk glass, the globe would have been mounted atop a Richfield petrol pump, illuminated internally so that the design glowed brightly at night.
