His economy product was re-refined motor oil — and he put one of the most striking label designs in Oklahoma petroliana on it. The Sooner Queen. A cowgirl kneeling beside a campfire, a Hereford calf, rolling plains. A comparable can sold at Morphy's Hershey auction in October 2024 for $6,150. Now it's on a kitchen towel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e85% microfiber polyester \/ 15% polyamide tea towel, quick-drying and absorbent. One size, 16\" x 25\". Hemmed edges, sewn-in care label.

The Sooner Queen re-refined motor oil brand was their economy line — reclaimed, cleaned, and resold at a time when postwar motorists needed cheap lubrication and independent refiners needed a way to compete against the majors. The can's cowgirl-and-campfire design is documented in major petroliana auction records. Most cans were thrown away.
