Collectibles Corner - Gas Station Collectibles

Gas station collectibles - often referred to as Petroliana - is a relatively new collecting niche in the grand scheme of things, but it is growing more and more popular as the years go by! It's all about the nostalgia, as with most collectibles, and the wide range of items that fall into the Petroliana category make it a great area for collectors to focus on. There is also some cross over with advertising collectibles, so there is a 'two birds with one stone' element in play as well, which is always a plus!
