How Much Is a Vintage Petrol Globe Worth?

Vintage petrol globes are among the most distinctive and collectable forms of automobilia. With their colourful branding, illuminated designs and strong connection to the golden age of motoring, vintage petrol globes have become increasingly popular with collectors of petroliana, automobilia, motoring memorabilia and vintage advertising.

But how much is a vintage petrol globe worth? The answer can vary considerably depending on the petrol brand, age, rarity, condition, size and originality. Famous names such as Shell, Esso, BP, Mobilgas and other historic petrol companies can all attract collector interest, particularly when an example retains its original glass, lettering and fittings.

Why Are Vintage Petrol Globes So Collectable?

For many collectors, vintage petrol globes are about more than their monetary value. They are a piece of motoring history, bringing back memories of traditional petrol stations, classic cars and a time when garages and filling stations had their own distinctive character.

As well as being sought after by collectors of petroliana and automobilia, petrol globes appeal to enthusiasts of classic cars, vintage advertising, garage memorabilia and industrial design. Their impressive size and striking appearance also make them popular decorative pieces for garages, workshops, homes and businesses.

The strength of the market is demonstrated by specialist auction activity. Fieldings Auctioneers has previously included dedicated petrol pump globes within its Vintage Transport, Automobilia & Railwayana Collectables sale, alongside enamel signs, car badges, mascots, lamps and other automobilia.
