"BP Spirit" Single-Sided Porcelain Pump Plate
This pump plate is in near-mint condition, and while its heavy weight and thick coating suggest it may be an unused original, we cannot guarantee it isn’t a period reproduction - though we are comfortable in saying that it is likely from the golden age of porcelain, as modern reproductions tend to be thinner, lighter, and generally more cheaply made.
Pump plates are an interesting part of automotive history, allowing gas station owners the opportunity to advertise the exact fuel they are selling at a given pump by simply switching out these approx. 12” plates on the front of a pump. This is a great piece that would look equally at home on a restored vintage pump, or on the wall or bookshelf of the British car lover. Great colors, great graphics, and a brilliant polished surface!
