Esso Gas "Put a Tiger in Your Tank" Large 30-Inch Porcelain Service Station Sign
Esso – Put a Tiger in Your Tank
Before gas stations became mini-marts, they had personality—and nothing captured that better than Esso’s roaring tiger campaign. This bold 32” vintage-style porcelain sign takes you back to the golden age of roadside America, when a full tank came with a smile, a map, and maybe even a collectible decal. With its fierce, mid-pounce tiger and warm yellow background, it’s a throwback to a time when fuel had flavor and advertising had teeth.
Whether you grew up with this campaign or just appreciate iconic American brands and vintage gas & oil pump plates, this one’s guaranteed to stand out in any collection.
Remember when people were proud to own things? When American-made meant something?
We do too. That’s why we don’t cut corners. This Esso “Put a Tiger in Your Tank” 32” Porcelain Sign is made exactly like the originals—real kiln-fired porcelain enamel, fused to ¼-inch heavy-gauge steel for that rich, glossy finish and old-school heft.
Built Like the Originals—Because It Is.
After 15 years as an auctioneer and lifelong collector, I’ve seen what’s out there—cheap aluminum fakes, stickers that peel, and signs that just don’t feel right. Ours are different. Every sign is heavy in the hand, vivid in color, and built to last. This one weighs in at 18–22 lbs, with hand-punched mounting holes just like the real service station signs from decades past.
Key Features:
✔ 30” diameter – Large size perfect for garages, shops, or showrooms
✔ ¼” heavy gauge steel – Solid, durable, and built to last
✔ Kiln-fired porcelain enamel – Glossy, weatherproof, and fade-resistant
✔ Hand-punched mounting holes – Vintage-authentic construction
✔ Weatherproof for indoor or outdoor display
✔ Approx. 18–22 lbs – Serious weight that screams quality
Satisfaction Guaranteed.
We know how important quality is to collectors. If it’s not what you expected, return it—no questions asked, and we’ll cover the return shipping.
