Red Crown was Standard Oil's answer to a simple problem: how do you convince a driver your gasoline is worth stopping for? A crown-shaped globe, visible from the road before the sign could even be read, was the answer — registered in 1915.
Sturdy T-bottom zip pouch that stands upright on its own. Available in Small and Large, with Black or White zipper. Vintage Red Crown emblem printed front and center — great for a bag, desk, or bathroom counter.
After the 1911 Standard Oil breakup, several successor companies kept some version of the crown trademark, but Standard Oil of Ohio held onto the Red Crown name itself longest, marketing under it independently from 1912 until 1930.
The perfect gift for petroliana collectors building a Standard Oil display, classic car enthusiasts, and anyone who wants a genuinely useful everyday pouch with a real story behind it.
The Faded Label Co. — keeping the golden age of American roadside art alive, one product at a time.
