The first gas pumps were built in the 1880's by the Bowser Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana, followed in 1898 by pumps that could pull fuel from an underground tank. As the automobile's popularity soared in the 1920s and service stations sprang up everywhere, the gas pump became a key promotional medium for oil companies and their gasoline brands.
Petroliana, or antiques related to gas stations and the oil business, is an advertising focused collecting area, with key subcategories being gas pumps, gas pump globes, oil cans, road maps, signs, and major names like Mobil and Texaco.
