Oil Drop Man and his Gal

ESSO not only had the tiger symbol but this cute couple each with a quiff shaped head of a golden oil drop.

Looks like they had fun on two wheels also!

“Happy Go Lively”

This company goes back to Rockefeller and his wealth machine Standard Oil (ess oh being the phonetic initials) Now known as Exxon in the US. They worked on future users with Playmobil toys, here  a gas station complete with pumps, canopy and vehicles…

I like to look at some older images, and here is a Triumph ready for a top-up.

Perhaps the Oil Drop mans gal is called Ethel.

  1. Hi Geordie.

    Oil Drop Man was big in Aussie. I have 2 plastic money box examples of him I got as a kid, plus a recent homage by Aussie model car company TRAX (www.topgear.com.au) of an Esso and Oli Drop Man sign-written Ford Falcon panel van (a vehicle originally unique to Aussie, being a two door pickup with integral roof and sides over the tray, like a 2 door estate/station-wagon but without side windows

    Cheers,
    Aussie Les
