Montana Chief traces back to a refinery most people outside Spokane never heard of. Inland Empire Refineries, Inc. built its plant in Hillyard, just north of Spokane, in 1938, running on Cut Bank, Montana crude.
Solid metal bottle opener with a printed vintage Montana Chief emblem. Compact, sturdy, built for real use — not just display. Great for the fridge, bar cart, or garage wall.
Inland Empire didn't sell one gasoline, it sold a family of them — Washington Chief locally, Idaho Chief and Oregon Chief across the state lines. Wasatch Oil merged into Phillips Petroleum in 1949.
The perfect gift for petroliana collectors tracking Pacific Northwest and Montana oil history, and classic car enthusiasts.
The Faded Label Co. — keeping the golden age of American roadside art alive, one product at a time.
