Gas Station Collectibles

Gas Station Collectibles

More than 1,000 examples of unique and highly sought-after gas station collectibles with a complete invaluable price guide.

With the advent of the automobile and the central place it took in society, service stations became one of the dominant businesses in twentieth century America. From the pump in front of the general store to the gleaming full-service stations of the 1940s and 1950s, the oil companies created a niche in popular culture. They produced a wealth of items that now are eagerly sought after by collectors. Everything from the glass globes that adorned early gas pumps to toys, advertising, pinbacks, tire repair kits, and a host of other memorabilia are available.

Drawing from the collection of Mitch Stenzler, an early and avid aficionado, Gas Station Collectibles includes nearly 1,000 color photographs of these nostalgic and often beautiful artifacts. The clear photos show examples of some of the best of the collectibles available, and the price guide is an invaluable aid to the collector.
