Very cool early RUGBY Motor Oil advertising piece featuring the large red Rugby oil can graphic.

Advertising reads:

RUGBY

Reg. Trade Mark

100% Pure Paraffin Base – De-Waxed

Select Highly Refined Motor Oil

Bottom portion identifies Pennsylvania Petroleum Products Co., Philadelphia, PA.

This appears to be an original vintage paper advertising piece, not a modern reproduction. It is housed in an old decorative frame and has fantastic untouched character.

The advertising paper shows considerable age-related wear including toning, staining/discoloration, creases, wrinkles, small losses/abrasions and general surface wear. The frame also has substantial age and finish wear. The back shows old-style construction and hanging wire. It has NOT been restored or cleaned and is being sold exactly as found.

Please study all photographs carefully as they are an important part of the description and show the exact condition.

A fantastic display piece for a collector of early motor oil advertising, petroliana, service station memorabilia, garage décor, automotive advertising or Philadelphia/Pennsylvania petroleum history.

Sold as found. No claims are being made regarding an exact date of manufacture.
