Gargoyle Mobiloil Vacuum Oil Company Porcelain Enamel Sign | Large 30-Inch

Gargoyle Mobiloil—The Legacy of the Vacuum Oil Company

Before Mobil became a household name, Gargoyle Mobiloil was one of the earliest and most trusted brands in lubrication. Produced by the Vacuum Oil Company, which later merged into what became Mobil, this high-quality motor oil was essential for early automobiles, industrial machinery, and aviation engines. The Gargoyle emblem became a symbol of superior lubrication technology, ensuring smooth performance and long-lasting protection in an era when engine oil quality could mean the difference between success and failure.

This vintage-style 32” porcelain sign is a tribute to the early days of automotive and industrial lubrication, featuring bold Gargoyle Mobiloil branding, classic typography, and the historic Vacuum Oil Company insignia. A must-have for collectors of vintage gas & oil memorabilia, early automotive history, and Mobil heritage.

Engineered for Excellence—Then and Now

In a time when lubrication technology was still developing, Gargoyle Mobiloil set the gold standard with its highly refined base oils and superior protective qualities. This Gargoyle Mobiloil Porcelain Sign represents that commitment to quality and durability—just like the product itself.
