Coin bank in the shape of a White Rose oil can. There is a band of gold around the bottom of the can and the rest is white. There is a coin slot on the top, and on the front a White Rose logo which consists of a white rose with green leaves on a yellow background. The can says 'White Rose' in red text and 'Ultra Multi-Grade Motor Oil' in green underneath it. The side of the can has green text going up the side that says 'branches throughout Canada - Canadian Oil Companies, Limited.' |
Provenance |
In 1901 the Canadian Oil Refining Company was formed in Petrolia, Ontario. By 1908 it was bought and renamed, Canadian Oil Companies Ltd. The rose logo was used for White Rose starting in 1939, replacing the old "Boy and Slate" logo. A competition was held for the design of the White Rose logo depicting the actual flower. In 1962 the company was bought by Shell Canada. |
