Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Let's See Some Service Station Banners!

One item not disussed a lot on here are service station banners. I have always liked original service station banners due to slogans and graphics that some companies used. I think its great that some of these banners are so old and have stood the test of time. Let see some banners ! Here are some of my favorites.

gargoyle can banner..

banners are cool but take up to much room..

Here's a couple I had framed.

Advertologist...anytime that Texaco/Havoline stuff starts taking up too much room...just give me a jingle...LOL.

Here are my Texaco banners....

Oreo the Wonder Dog is not a Texaco Product....

Texaco with Jack Benny

Hey 42 Packard...you just run that down to my brother's gargage and he will get it to Montana for you..LOL
energy
57 T-Bird, what brand is that High Energy?

Nice stuff everyone.

Alex I have no idea but was leaning towards Mobil in the 50's 60's .

The High Energy banner above is Mobil....I picked up two of those years ago out of an old Mobil station.

Here are my two Wadhams banners. First is from the early 1920's and is framed. Second is from the early 1930's.

Here are the three that I own....The first one is my favorite, an early 1930's Socony Mobilgas banner. This one was in such nice shape I had to have it and I'm glad I bought it as I have not seen another for sale since I bought this one.


The next one is the Mobil can banner that came after the version that Advertologist posted above with the Gargoyle and Pegasus shield at the bottom. This is the only one I was able to find a frame for easily!


Lastly, while not in the greatest of shape, I found this large banner at Peotone a couple of years ago outside for $10. I thought it was well worth that price as a nice hanger for the garage someday. I think it's about 10 feet wide but I have it folded up somewhere in storage...much too big to display in my apartment!
