Havoline Motor Oil Porcelain Flange Sign c. 1935
This is an exceedingly rare original authentic Havoline Motor Oil WaX Free double sided flange diecut advertising sign. The sign shows a heavy porcelain enamel over metal sign with a diecut design to resemble the Havoline Motor Oil Cans. The piece reads, "Havoline REG. TRADE MARK Motor Oil WaXFree In Sealed Cans For Your Portection / Havoline." The bottom of the sign is marked on one side, "3-35" and " MADE IN U.S.A.". This is one of the more scarce and valuable of all Havoline signs and is rarely seen in any condition. The sign shows very good to fine condition with a slight chip loss at the bottom edge. The sign is in all original condition and has not been touched up. Some of these rare Havoline Can Shaped Signs have sold in excess of $5000+ at auction. The Havoline Motor Oil Brand was first introduced in 1904 by Havemeyer Oil Company and later purchased by Texas Oil Company (now known as Texaco) in 1931. The sign measures 20"H x 12.75"W with the flange being 1 7/8".
