[Spindletop] [Petroliana] 1901 Texas Oil Company "Lucky Dime" Promotional Map and Stock Offering
Oklahoma City, OK: Daily Oklahoman, 1901. Map Illustrated Advertisement. A seminal promotional piece by an American oil company, offering a nascent map of the rich Spindletop drilling area in Southern Texas during it's proving and cash-raising stages. Published in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper in 1901 to encourage investors to "buy-in" to the excitement of the oil boom, this enticing ad worked her wallet-opening charms well, as the region ultimately became famous for both it's quality and quantity of sustained oil production. The ad measures 19.5 inches tall x 14 inches wide with some toning and faint fold lines barely evident. It has been deacidified and linen backed with a few tiny archival repairs to top and left edges. Near Fine. Item #4590
A significant and early piece of Texas Petroliana.
