Filling Station Collectibles (A Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Some of the hottest collectibles today reflect our passions for the automobile. This book pictures filling station memorabilia, motoring products, and automotive advertisements in vivid color. A great variety of neon, enameled, and wooden signs, illustrated oil cans, and brightly colored gas pumps from the days of the earliest roadsters are presented here. As oil companies and filling stations changed to keep up with America's evolving culture, they varied the containers and advertisements for their products. From the turn of the century to modern times, the hundreds of filling station collectibles on display in this book fill 563 color photographs and an up-to-date price guide.
