Esso Tiger LED Lighted Wall Clock – Put a Tiger in Your Tank Vintage Gas Station Decor
Bring the colorful personality of classic American gasoline advertising into your garage, man cave, workshop, or home with the Esso Tiger LED Lighted Wall Clock. Measuring 14 inches in diameter, this illuminated clock features the famous Esso tiger, a vintage Esso Extra gasoline pump, and the unforgettable advertising slogan “PUT A TIGER IN YOUR TANK!”
The nostalgic illustration shows a cheerful orange-and-black striped tiger standing alongside a tortoise and a rabbit. A smaller caption, “The Real Story of the Tortoise and the Hare,” adds a humorous touch to this memorable service station advertisement.
With its bright white face, bold red-and-black lettering, and classic gasoline advertising artwork, this clock captures the character of mid-century American petroliana.
Built-in LED backlighting and a battery-operated quartz movement combine vintage appeal with convenient modern functionality.
Classic Esso Tiger Gasoline Advertising Artwork
The centerpiece of this lighted clock is a lively illustration of the legendary Esso tiger.
The tiger stands upright in the center, wearing a playful grin and displaying its distinctive orange coat with bold black stripes. Its raised paw and animated posture give the character the energetic personality associated with vintage gasoline advertisements.
To the right stands a traditional Esso Extra gasoline pump, complete with recognizable branding.
A brown rabbit appears beside the pump, while a small tortoise stands to the left of the tiger.
The combination of these characters creates an entertaining scene that reflects the humorous spirit of classic advertising.
Above the illustration, the words “PUT A TIGER IN YOUR TANK!” curve around the upper clock face. Most of the slogan appears in bold black letters, while “YOUR” is highlighted in red.
This artwork is an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate the colorful mascots and imaginative slogans once used to promote American gasoline brands.
For a different recognizable advertising mascot, explore the Sinclair Dino LED Lighted Wall Clock, featuring the famous green Sinclair dinosaur.
The Tortoise and the Hare – A Humorous Advertising Twist
One feature that sets this clock apart from other gasoline advertising designs is its playful reference to the classic fable of the tortoise and the hare.
The tiger stands between the tortoise and rabbit, accompanied by the small caption “The Real Story of the Tortoise and the Hare.”
These characters bring an additional sense of nostalgia and humor to the scene.
Unlike simpler gasoline clocks featuring only a company logo, this Esso Tiger design presents a complete illustrated advertisement.
Its combination of animals, classic typography, and a vintage fuel pump makes it particularly interesting for collectors of advertising memorabilia.
