Esso Petroleum Petrol Pump Globes

A range of Esso petrol pump globes dating from 1935 through to the 1960's. The glass globes were made by various companies such as; Webbs Crystal Glass Co, Hailware, and SW Lighting Ltd. The later globes were also made in plastic.

1935 advertisement for the new brands of Esso Petrols

Esso Petroleum Co Ltd beginnings go back to 1888 and the Anglo- American Oil Company, a British affiliate of the Standard Oil Trust. The AAOC had brands under different names - Pratt's being one of them. In 1935 re branding took place and the AAOC took a phonetic version of the initials of Standard Oil - "ess_o" as the new brand to replace Pratts but it was not until 1951 that Esso was formerly adopted as the company name. The advertisement here dates to 1935 and illustrates the new brand names at that time. Globes marked on the rim "property of the Anglo-American Oil Co" pre-date 1951.
