In addition to Cab Lights, Gillco manufactured many other styles of signs with varying sizes, shapes and illuminations. The styles/functions included clocks, double sided globes other back-bar items and non-illuminated signs. In many cases, the advertised product was beer related.
The one style that was most similar to the double-lens Cab Light was a round style with an outer convex lens and a second refractor lens behind it. There were not many of these “Round Refractor Gillcos” made and I just have two in my collection out of the approximate twelve that are known which include: Eblings Ale, Loewers Beer -Ale, Columbia Beer, Greunewald Beer, Esslinger’s Beer, Esslinger’s Little Man Ale, Deposits Insured FDIC, Rheingold Beer, Atlas Prager Beer, Coors Beer and Stoney’s Gold Crown Beer. Please notify me if you know of any others at kbelcher8@outlook.com or 703 625 5837.
In addition, Gillco manufactured a round hanging light that is known as a 'Saucer with Dog Bone'. These measure 16 inches in diameter and there are approximately 32 known examples as illustrated below. Note that many of the below pictures came from the outstanding Pennsylvania collection of Chris Watt. Please notify me if you know of any others at kbelcher8@outlook.com or 703 625 5837.
