Description :

Standard Oil Company of California Early–Mid 20th Century Production (c. 1930s–1950s)

A multi-crate lot of original Blazo wooden fuel shipping boxes produced for Standard Oil Company of California during the early–mid 20th century, a period when Blazo pressure‑appliance fuel was widely used for camp stoves, lanterns, and field equipment. Each crate retains its bold stenciled branding: “2 5‑GAL CANS – BLAZO – PRESSURE APPLIANCE FUEL – STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA,” accompanied by the distinctive red-circle flame emblem.

Surfaces show authentic age, storage wear, and printing variations consistent with long-term industrial use. The graphics remain strong and visually compelling, making these crates excellent for collectors of petroleum history, Standard Oil advertising, or rustic display.

Highlights

  • Early–mid 20th century Standard Oil Company of California production

  • Strong period graphics with the classic Blazo flame emblem

  • Weathered, original surfaces with appealing industrial patina

  • Ideal for collectors, decorators, and Americana displays

  • Sourced from a single local estate with long-term storage

A visually striking and historically grounded lot with strong crossover appeal for advertising, industrial, and Americana collectors.
