A killing freeze wiped out Samuel Mosher's citrus and avocado crops in the winter of 1921, and he pivoted to oil out of pure necessity. He borrowed against his inheritance, tapped into a well site Shell let him use, and started capturing natural gasoline that would otherwise go to waste — Signal Products Company was born from a farmer's ruin.
6oz stainless steel flask, double-walled construction, smooth powder-coated finish. Vintage Signal Gasoline emblem printed on the front. Slips easily into a jacket pocket or glove box. Hand wash recommended.
Signal Gasoline Company became Signal Gas and Oil in 1928, then entered a long-running partnership with Standard Oil in 1931. By the 1950s, Signal had grown into the largest independent oil company on the West Coast.
