AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered is a pair of original French Esso upper cylinder lubricant tins dating from approximately the 1950s to the 1970s, illustrating the evolution of Esso branding over two decades.
This attractive collector’s lot comprises:
* 1 × Esso “Upper Cylinder Lubricant” tin (approx. late 1960s–1970s) featuring the colourful Esso mascot artwork, bilingual French/English text and its original measuring cap.
* 1 × Essolube “Super Lubrifiant S.L.” tin (approx. 1950s–early 1960s) with embossed top panel, original measuring cap and attractive period patina.
Both are genuine French-market oil tins manufactured for Esso and retain their original paintwork, graphics and caps.
The later Esso example is in very good original condition with vibrant colours and light signs of age. The earlier Essolube tin displays honest wear, oxidation and patina accumulated over decades, giving it excellent character and authenticity.
Both tins are empty and complete with their original screw measuring caps.
A superb display pair for collectors of Petroliana, Automobilia, Esso memorabilia, vintage garage advertising and classic oil tins.

* Original paint and graphics
