Item Details


  • Location: San Jose, CA 95113
  • Country: United States of America
  • Lot #: M-0054241

Available for auction is a collection of nine pieces of Michelin memorabilia, each featuring Bibendum, the iconic Michelin Man, used for advertising and promotional purposes.



This unique set includes a cast iron Bibendum in a red biplane (4.5”L x 4.5”W x 3.5”H), a blue race car stamped "Hubley 1934" (approx. 10”L x 4.5”W x 3.5”H), a standing Bibendum figure with a yellow sash marked “REG 67548 Detroit” (approx. 5.75”H x 5”W x 3”D), and a standing Bibendum coin bank (7”H x 4”W x 2.5”D).



Also included are two small cast iron figures—one holding a tire overhead and another leaning on a tire (both 3” x 3”), a Bibendum riding a tire while inflating it (approx. 9” x 5” x 5”), and two vintage cast iron signs: a “Michelin for Aircraft Tires” sign dated 1937 (13.5”W x 7”H, stamped "Chelsea" on the rear) and a “Michelin Metallic” sign dated 1939 (approx. 11.75” x 8”, stamped "London" on the rear).



The seller states all pieces are in good condition with some paint chips and scrapes consistent with age and wear. A fantastic addition for collectors of Michelin history and automobilia. The buyer is responsible for shipping, shipping insurance, handling, and transactional fees. PCARMARKET is not responsible for anything lost or damaged during shipping.

    I am excited for this win. I really like Michelin. I am in West San Jose and would have no problem picking up my win in person. Save any issue with shipping.
