One side is the company name and logo- reading
'Clean, Clear, Golden Texaco Motor Oil and the New and Better Texaco Gasoline.'
The other side is marked off in increments like a ruler with markings for the number of gallons in a Ford square tank & Ford Oval Tank.
We've come along way since those days!!
This is a great item for automotive, gas and oil collectors or country and garage/barn decor.
It measures 17" long x 1 1/4" x 1/8" .
It is overall good condition with mild signs of use and age and only a very slight crack at the bottom edge as seen in pictures.
Texaco was founded in Beaumont, Texas as the Texas Fuel Company in 1902
In 1905, it established an operation in Antwerp, Belgium, under the name Continental Petroleum Company, which it acquired control of in 1913.
In 1928, Texaco became the first U.S. oil company to sell its gasoline nationwide under one single brand name and for many years, Texaco was the only company selling gasoline under the same brand name in all 50 US states, as well as Canada, making it the most truly national brand among its competitors.
It was also one of the Seven Sisters which dominated the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s to the 1970s.
Its current logo features a white star in a red circle (a reference to the lone star of Texas), leading to the long-running advertising jingles "You can trust your car to the man who wears the star" and "Star of the American Road."

The shipping cost is determined by the postal service which is described below Due to the various sizes and weights of the items in my shop I unfortunately cannot offer free shipping
I utilize the USPS for shipping all packages and have found them to be the most economical and reliable
USPS has discontinued Regional Rate Box prices. This means that this mail class is no longer available
USPS uses Cubic Pricing rates which are determined by package dimensions and distance traveled instead of weight
