Item Details
- Location: Sarasota, FL 34230
- Country: United States of America
- Lot #: M-0054383
Available for auction is a rare and iconic pair of vintage Oil Drop Man and Oil Drop Woman mascot, created by Esso (ExxonMobil) for mid-20th-century marketing campaigns. These anthropomorphic oil drop characters, with their friendly expressions and classic design, symbolized progress and energy during the 1950s–1970s. 
While their presence faded due to shifting perceptions of fossil fuels, they remain cherished relics of a bygone era. Measuring approximately 33.5” x 13.4” x 11” each and crafted from resin, the seller states both figures are in excellent, well-preserved condition—an exceptional addition for collectors of petroleum memorabilia and vintage advertising history. 
The buyer is responsible for shipping, shipping insurance, handling, and transactional fees. PCARMARKET is not responsible for anything lost or damaged during shipping.
