Petroleum Collectables

Omtale

In 1967 Beaulieu held the first autojumble in the United Kingdom and collectors of anything remotely connected with motoring found they had a huge market place. Now anything to do with petrol retailing is a collectable item, including petrol pumps, the now out-of-use two-gallon cans in which petrol was sold, enamel advertising signs, and the extremely varied paraphernalia produced by individual petrol firms. This book outlines some of the thousands of pre-Second World War items, as well as charting the early history of selling and using petrol.
