Waggoner Refining Co. Inc. carried the Waggoner name onto gas stations across Texas — a Hereford bull front and center on the badge, a nod to one of the largest cattle-and-oil operations the state ever produced.
This glossy ceramic mug carries the Waggoner Refining Co. emblem in deep maroon and navy on solid white ceramic. Available in 11oz and 15oz. Dishwasher and microwave safe, lead- and BPA-free.
The Waggoner name carries real Texas weight. Daniel Waggoner built one of the largest ranches in American history in North Texas, and the family struck oil on the land in 1902 while drilling for water — one of the most famous accidental oil discoveries in Texas history. Decades later, when Hollywood built the fictional “Reata” ranch house for the 1956 epic Giant, starring James Dean in his final role, the production's art director modeled the design directly on the real Waggoner Mansion in Decatur, Texas. The movie's story of cattle, oil, and Texas fortune wasn't just inspired by ranches like this one — it borrowed the house.
The perfect gift for petroliana collectors, Texas history buffs, classic film fans who know their James Dean trivia, and anyone building out a garage bar or ranch-house kitchen.
