Acquired some pieces from a gentleman who worked for Lion Oil for many years that came from their in-house “advertising team” and am curious what others may think they are worth.

(Trying to figure out the pic posting thing...have them posted now IMGR but can’t get them to show here)

Pieces include a colored illustration of the mascot, a color concept 3 view drawing of mascot, the paste-up layout for the cover of the company safety guide and a hand drawn advertisement concept piece for Lion Oil.

Thanks

Wow, those are amazing!! One off artist's proofs.
Lion oil is a division of Montsanto, the giant corporation.
Looks like they are from the late 50 to mid 60s.
I have no clue what they are worth but I would find a upper end petro auction to put them in to get the most out of them.
Good luck!

I would guess value in the 100.00 dollar range and that's to a Lion Oil collector or Dave..lol
Most at Iowa Gas wouldn't give it a second look.


Wanted early tin litho signage.
petro, farm, auto, etc.
