Every Vintage Motor Oil Sign Ranked From WORST to BEST

The most expensive vintage motor oil sign we could verify is not porcelain at all, it is tin. A single-sided Oilzum tin sign with the bucktooth boy on it sold for eighty-two thousand five hundred dollars, while a porcelain Mobil Oil flange, the kind hanging in half the antique malls in America, brought six hundred. Every number here is a price realized at a named auction house, no estimates and no asking prices. You will learn why the Oilzum tin sign takes number one at eighty-two thousand five hundred dollars, since a single-sided tin piece with the bucktooth boy graded eight and a half sold at Richmond Auctions, and Oilzum went out through exclusive dealers rather than every station on the highway, so the signage was better made and there was less of it, why the Zeroline polar bear is the personal pick, because a twenty-four inch double-sided porcelain flange brought one thousand seven hundred fifty-five dollars at Manifest Auctions for a graphic that reads from across a room, with the polar bear promising oil that would not turn to molasses on a cold morning, and how the Pennzoil owl proves the whole lesson, since a four foot Be Oil Wise tin sign carried an eight hundred to sixteen hundred dollar estimate and brought eleven thousand six hundred eighty-five at Morphy Auctions while ordinary Pennzoil signs trade for a couple hundred, which means you price the picture rather than the brand. The video covers the Gargoyle Mobil Oil flange at six hundred dollars because abundance sets the floor, the Wolf's Head neon at seven thousand two hundred from the Dingman collection with a 2018 date to treat as a floor rather than a ceiling, the Kendall two thousand mile lollipop at eleven thousand seventy with its original tin topper, the Sinclair curb sign graded a nine by AGS that beat a ten to twenty thousand estimate at thirty-five thousand six hundred seventy, and the 1920s Red Indian tin sign that beat a twelve thousand high estimate at sixty-four thousand nine hundred Canadian. #Petroliana #MotorOilSigns #Oilzum #Sinclair #Pennzoil Chapters and key moments: 00:00 The tin sign that beat all the porcelain 00:32 Real auction results, no estimates 01:31 Gargoyle Mobil Oil, the logo before the flying horse 02:27 Why abundance sets this price, not quality 02:54 What to check on a flange sign 03:32 Zeroline and the polar bear from the West Coast 04:18 The pattern, a face beats a name every time 05:02 Wolf's Head, the one that glows 06:19 Why neon lands this high 07:02 Never plug in a barn find 07:10 Kendall, two thousand mile oil on a post 07:36 What a lollipop sign actually is 08:55 The tin topper that separates two prices 09:16 Pennzoil, the owl nobody expected 10:00 Seven times the top of the estimate 10:14 Price the picture, not the brand 10:57 Sinclair, the dinosaur that ate its estimate 11:55 The grade is doing the heavy lifting 12:50 Red Indian, the Canadian sign that broke the room 13:47 Tin is early, and early tin never survives 14:03 The reproduction warning 14:42 Oilzum, and why it beat the porcelain 15:41 Exclusive dealers and less signage 16:10 What all eight really show 16:30 My pick is not the expensive one Contact: rvritualcontact@yahoo.com Social media Facebook:   / rvrituall   Instagram:   / rv.ritual   TikTok:   / rvritual   Pinterest:   / rvritual   Threads: https://www.threads.com/@rv.ritual X: https://x.com/rvritual Disclaimer: The content on RV Ritual is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial, investment, purchasing, or professional advice.
