Gas Station Lighting: Classic American Decor

gas-station-barn-lights.png

During the early to mid 1900’s, most gas stations across America used porcelain enamel lights to draw in customers and to showcase large metal advertisements. These gas station signs featured bold, colorful logos from iconic brands such as Texaco, Sinclair, Standard, Marathon, Gulf, Shell, Esso and tons of others. Porcelain gas station lights were valued for more than just their visual appeal, they also created an inviting and safe environment for customers who may be filling up or working late!

Today, these nostalgic light fixtures are rarely found around gas pumps anymore – but don’t let that get you down! Barn Light Electric sells two kinds of porcelain enamel barn lights!

Authentic vintage barn lights can be found within our Gooseneck Lighting category online. They have been cleaned, rewired and are ready to ship! The fixtures you find with us online have been collected from all across the country. By incorporating a vintage barn light into your home, you can achieve a nostalgic look and bring a touch of the early 1900’s into your home or business!

    I have two angled enamel porcelain clamshell sign lights as posted on your page. They are both green with one chip on each. How much are they worth?
