Esso Put a Tiger in Your Tank Vintage Porcelain Enamel Sign (12in)

Esso – Put a Tiger in Your Tank

Back when advertising had bite, Esso's legendary tiger roared its way into America’s hearts—and fuel tanks. With its unforgettable slogan and fierce feline mascot, Esso captured the thrill of the open road and the promise of performance. This sign brings it all back: the bold red tiger, classic oval logo, and vintage patina that feels like it came right off an old filling station wall.

It’s a must-have piece for collectors of vintage oil advertising, Esso memorabilia, or anyone who remembers when stopping for gas meant something special.

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” 12” Porcelain Sign is built exactly like the originals—real kiln-fired porcelain enamel, layered onto ¼-inch heavy-gauge steel for a finish that lasts a lifetime.

Built Like the Originals—Because It Is.

After 15 years as an auctioneer and lifelong collector, I saw firsthand how true craftsmanship was disappearing. Today’s market is flooded with flimsy aluminum replicas and cheap stickers. We bring back the weight, feel, and durability of true vintage porcelain signs, with hand-punched mounting holes, thick steel, and a rich, baked-on finish.

Key Features:

✔ 12” diameter – A bold, classic size for garages, workshops, or displays
