Zerolene shared a mascot with a soft drink polar bear, and for good reason — both were built to signal cold-weather reliability. Standard Oil Company of California introduced Zerolene in 1907 as a rebrand of their existing Polarine lubricant.
Solid metal bottle opener with a printed vintage Zerolene emblem. Compact, sturdy, built for real use — not just display. Great for the fridge, bar cart, or garage wall.
Zerolene sold alongside Red Crown gasoline at Standard Oil of California's earliest branded stations starting in 1907, and the polar bear mark stuck around for decades. Standard Oil of California itself became Chevron Corporation in 1977.
The perfect gift for petroliana collectors building a Standard Oil display, classic car enthusiasts, and garage decorators.
