Clipper Petroleum Ceramic Coaster Set — Vintage Petroliana Gift | The Faded Label Co.

W.F. Homeyer founded his oil company in Gainesville, Georgia in 1933 as an Amoco distributor serving the North Georgia area. The name didn't come until later — Clipper Petroleum, after the great age of American aviation that was reshaping the country around him. The winged clipper ship logo landed on pump globes, signs, and now on your coffee table.

Set of four ceramic coasters, each 3.75 inches square. High-gloss MDF surface with full-color print — the Clipper Petroleum logo reads sharp and clean. Cork backing protects surfaces and keeps coasters in place. Slim profile at 0.16 inches. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Clipper Petroleum operated as an independent regional distributor through the mid-century, the kind of small operator that kept the Southeast supplied while the majors fought for the coasts. The globe design — a winged clipper ship in motion — borrowed the era's fascination with speed and aviation and planted it squarely on a gasoline pump in North Georgia. The brand is documented. The stations are gone. The logo holds up.

The perfect gift for the petroliana collector who knows the Southeast regional brands, the Georgia history enthusiast, the aviation and roadside Americana crossover collector, or anyone who appreciates the independent operators that kept the roads running before the chains took over.

The Faded Label Co. — keeping the golden age of American roadside art alive, one product at a time.
