Once a proud staple of early American service stations, Red Hat Motor Oil stood out with its bold imagery and promise of premium engine protection. Known for its distinctive red top hat logo, this brand was all about refined performance and trusted quality—back when motor oil was advertised with pride, and your local filling station was a neighborhood fixture.
This vintage-style 12” porcelain sign is a tribute to Red Hat’s heritage in the golden age of gas and oil, featuring vibrant colors, classic lettering, and timeless design elements. A must-have for collectors of vintage petroleum signs, early automotive history, and Americana nostalgia.
We do too. That’s why we don’t cut corners. This Red Hat Motor Oil 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.
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.
✔ 12” diameter – Ideal size for garages, workshops, and collections
✔ ¼” heavy gauge steel – Thick, durable, and built to last
✔ Hand-rolled edge – Just like the originals, for an authentic feel
✔ Kiln-fired porcelain enamel – Weatherproof and fade-resistant
✔ Hand-punched mounting holes – No pre-drilled factory shortcuts
✔ Weatherproof for indoor or outdoor display
