Available for auction is a vintage Kelly Tires advertising sign, measuring 21" in height and 36" in width, constructed of tin and showcasing the brand’s iconic green and white color scheme. Kelly Tires of Springfield, originally founded as the Kelly-Springfield Tire Company in 1894, is one of America’s oldest tire brands and became known for producing high-quality rubber products during the early rise of the automobile.
After being acquired by Goodyear in the 1930s, the brand maintained its distinct identity. Vintage Kelly Tires signage—especially original tin examples like this—has become increasingly sought-after by petroliana collectors for its historical significance and bold, recognizable design.
This piece offers a rare opportunity to own a genuine artifact from a storied American brand. The seller states this original sign is in good condition considering its age and shows signs of patina adding to its vintage appeal.
