Free air at the curb was a small favor that kept drivers coming back. This vintage Shell porcelain sign is a tall, narrow panel with the yellow Shell emblem at the top and big yellow Free Air lettering running down the center, framed by a thin yellow border on a deep red background, on a 15 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ sign.
Shell got its name from Marcus Samuel’s London business selling seashells, and its scallop emblem became a familiar sight at service stations around the world. Free air for tires was a standard courtesy at the station, and a tall sign like this one marked the spot by the air hose. This sign is real porcelain, made with glass enamel fired onto heavy gauge steel in a classic old design, for a hard, glossy finish built to last. Its narrow size fits a door frame, a post or a tight spot on a garage wall, and it’s a great piece for a shop or a Shell collection.
