Oil and Gas Vintage Ads

We have many unique, old and very collectible petroleum industry magazine advertisements, which include seismic exploration, well drilling, well pumping, processing, pipeline construction, petroleum refining, storage, transportation and product marketing. A few of the companies represented with many ads spanning over the years are Allis-Chalmers, Baker Oil Tools, Baroid,  Byron Jackson, Cooper-Bessemer,  Erle P Halliburton,  Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company, Humble Oil Refining, Lane Wells,  S. R. Dresser, Schlumberger,  Thornhill-Craver, and Warren Petroleum.  Many companies are no longer in business. Some people buy an ad because the company name is the same as theirs, or their father or grandfather used to work there. Many of our ads are proudly displayed, hanging on an executive office wall. Yet other advertisements are used for legal or genealogical research  Makes a sensational gift and memento!
