Esso Characters Die Cut Neon Porcelain Signs - Vintage Reproduction Set of Gas Station Advertising Displays of the Oil Drop Boy & Girl

Approximate Proportions—2:1 

  • Boy - 36” x 18” 
  • Girl - 36” x 14”

Before gas stations became convenience stores, brands like Esso knew how to stand out—and they didn’t just use logos. They gave their brands personality. Introduced in the 1950s, the Esso Oil Drop Boy and Girl became instantly recognizable characters in Esso advertising, proudly representing clean engines and dependable service with a wink and a wave.

This matching pair of Esso neon porcelain signs brings those iconic mascots back to life—lit in glowing color and built like the originals. These aren’t flimsy plastic reproductions or flat prints. Each piece is crafted with a real kiln-fired porcelain enamel face, mounted in a heavy-duty powder-coated steel can, and illuminated by handblown glass neon tubing in Esso’s trademark red, white, and blue.

Whether you’re a serious collector, a vintage garage buff, or someone who grew up seeing these cheerful drops on roadside signs and service station ads, this set delivers the rare kind of nostalgia that actually feels right.

 

Key Features:

  • Large matching set – Includes both Oil Drop Boy and Oil Drop Girl
  • Real porcelain enamel – Kiln-fired and hand applied for a superior quality with vintage finish
  • Handblown neon tubing – Bright, authentic noble gas glow in classic red, white, and blue
  • Powder-coated steel cans – Focused on premium quality and attention to detail, down to every rivet 
  • 110V UL-rated high-efficiency transformers – Reliable and safe
  • Dimensions: Approximately 2:1 - Available in 36” or 48” height (custom sizes available)
  • Made to order – Please allow up to 8 weeks for production

Esso signs are some of the most sought-after pieces in the world of vintage gas and oil collectibles, and this Oil Drop pair stands out as a tribute to the golden era of branded service stations. Each sign is a work of craftsmanship that honors the history behind the logo—and the characters that made Esso unforgettable.

Our Mission

Our Mission Is Simple

To honor the past and the iconic brands that shaped it by building authentic, high-quality reproductions—the kind made with real porcelain enamel, heavy-gauge steel, and hand-blown glass. Just like the originals.

But this goes deeper than materials.

We aim to:

  • Uphold the values these brands were built on: quality, attention to detail, and pride in craftsmanship.
  • Protect their legacy: giving loyal fans a way to display their passion—without settling for junk or breaking the bank.

Many of the designs we reproduce are believed to be in the public domain or come from brands no longer in operation. We take intellectual property rights seriously and make every effort to avoid infringing on active trademarks. Whenever possible, we pursue official licensing to ensure our work reflects the standards and values these brands deserve.

We’re a young company, and it hasn’t been easy to reach the right people yet. But we’re trying.
We’re sending emails, making calls, and doing everything we can to open the right doors.

So until we do, we’re donating 10% of our profits to foundations and charities tied to the brands we recreate—because if we can’t shake hands with them yet, we can still show respect where it’s due.

This isn’t just nostalgia.
It’s about doing things the right way.
Because some things are worth preserving.

Current Production Time

Each neon sign is handmade from scratch using hand-blown glass, porcelain enamel, and heavy steel cans—all of which are notoriously frustrating to work with.

We're confident you'll love your sign. Everyone says it's better than expected but please note our neon has taken approximately 10-14 weeks to ship.

We know that’s a wait, but good things take time—and the end result is a premium, authentic piece built to last.

FAQ

Common Questions & Answers About Porcelain Advertising and Our Porcelain & Neon Signs

We keep things simple and honest—just like the signs we make. Below you’ll find answers to common questions about our materials, process, shipping, returns, and what makes our porcelain signs different from the rest. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, reach out—we’re always happy to help.

What makes your porcelain signs different from others on the market?

Our signs are crafted using a 20-step vintage finishing technique that ensures authenticity and unmatched quality. Each piece is handmade to replicate the look and feel of original vintage porcelain signs, setting us apart from cheaper, mass-produced reproductions.

Are your signs original vintage pieces?

No, our signs are high-quality reproductions. We focus on recreating classic designs with the same materials and craftsmanship used in the originals. However, we do not sell them as antiques, and we ask our customers to avoid reselling them as originals.

What materials do you use to make your signs?

We use heavy-gauge steel and baked enamel porcelain coatings, just like the original manufacturing methods. This process ensures durability, vibrant colors, and a timeless appearance.

Can I resell these signs as originals?

Absolutely not. While our signs are incredibly authentic in appearance, they are modern reproductions. Misrepresenting them as originals violates our values and transparency as a company.

Do you offer custom designs?

Yes, we do offer custom designs, and you will have the exclusive rights to your design. Please inquire via email at support@porcelainadvertising.com for more information.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is Free.

How are your signs shipped?

We carefully package each sign to prevent damage during transit. Shipping is handled through trusted carriers, and tracking information is provided once your order ships.

What is your return policy?

Returns are FREE and accepted for any reason within 30 days for either a refund of the purchase price or an exchange if available. We even cover return shipping costs.

How do I clean and maintain my porcelain sign?

Simply wipe your sign with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to protect the enamel finish.

Do you offer wholesale pricing?

Yes, we are able to offer direct wholesale pricing and dropshipping capabilities. Please contact us via email at support@porcelainadvertising.com for more information.
