Gasoline

A colorful "road trip" through the twentieth century, Gasoline offers a panoramic display of the accessories of gas distribution and promotion. Gasoline pumps and grease guns, air pumps and promotional pens, tools and toys, jerry cans and enameled signs, period illustrations and gas-station giveaways tell the visual history of gasoline distribution from the beginning. These brightly colored, high-design items from all over the world are in the collection of the S.I.R.M. Museum in Italy, an institution devoted to the restoration and safekeeping of these exciting pieces of modern history.
