Originally famous for manufacturing candles and lubricants for lighting, the company evolved with the times and began producing oils and greases as the age of motoring dawned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1605\"\u003eBy the early 1900s, Price’s expanded its product line to include Motorine, a brand specifically created for the growing automobile market. Motorine oils were developed to meet the lubrication demands of the new generation of internal combustion engines, which required cleaner, more refined oils than traditional industrial lubricants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1982\"\u003eThe name “Motorine” became well-known among early motorists for its reliability and quality, and the brand was commonly sold through garages, engineering suppliers, and motoring clubs across Britain. The company’s background in refining fats and oils gave it a distinct advantage in developing high-quality lubricants at a time when motor engineering was rapidly advancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1984\" data-end=\"2177\"\u003eDuring the interwar years, Price’s Motorine products competed with larger names like Castrol and Shell, and their distinctive red and blue branding became a familiar sight in British garages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2204\"\u003eDesign and Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2205\" data-end=\"2524\"\u003eThe pourer is made from tin and designed in the traditional early 20th-century garage style, with a broad base for stability, a sturdy handle, and an elongated spout for precise pouring. The branding on the body features the Price Motorine logo — a circular blue field with cream lettering surrounded by a red border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2526\" data-end=\"2835\"\u003ePourers like this one were used daily by mechanics for refilling oil directly into engines, long before disposable cans and plastic bottles became standard. Their design allowed for clean, controlled pouring while minimising spillage, and they were often refilled from larger bulk oil drums kept in garages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2837\" data-end=\"2976\"\u003eThe simple yet bold design of this example reflects the functional aesthetic of the 1930s and 1940s — durable, visible, and made to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2978\" data-end=\"2998\"\u003eCollectibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2999\" data-end=\"3283\"\u003eToday, Price Motorine items are highly collectible among enthusiasts of vintage petroliana and British motoring memorabilia. The company’s long industrial history and early involvement in automotive lubrication make its advertising and workshop artefacts particularly desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3285\" data-end=\"3555\"\u003eOil pourers such as this are valued not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for the insight they provide into the daily workings of early garages. Each piece carries the marks and wear of decades of use, telling the story of Britain’s evolving motoring landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3557\" data-end=\"3704\"\u003eThe combination of original paint, legible branding, and authentic patina makes this a charming and historically significant example for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"3706\" data-end=\"3719\"\u003eSummary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"3720\" data-end=\"4028\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3720\" data-end=\"3758\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3722\" data-end=\"3758\"\u003eOriginal Price Motorine Oil pourer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3759\" data-end=\"3789\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3761\" data-end=\"3789\"\u003eProduced circa 1930s–1940s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3790\" data-end=\"3845\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3792\" data-end=\"3845\"\u003eTin construction with red and blue painted branding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3846\" data-end=\"3893\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3848\" data-end=\"3893\"\u003eFeatures classic early garage pourer design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3894\" data-end=\"3940\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3896\" data-end=\"3940\"\u003eGood condition with attractive aged patina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3941\" data-end=\"4028\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3943\" data-end=\"4028\"\u003eHighly collectible item representing the early days of British motoring maintenance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4030\" data-end=\"4239\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThis Price Motorine oil pourer captures the spirit of Britain’s pioneering motoring era when every mechanic relied on simple, well-made tools and trusted brands like Price’s to keep engines running smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Automobilia Magpie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58817354989917,"sku":"AM395","price":290.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1625\/3789\/files\/IMG-20251016-WA0093_21efc4c3-e131-4886-9464-68fbdf03ec06.jpg?v=1760700773","url":"https:\/\/www.automobiliamagpie.com\/products\/prices-motoring-oil-pourer","provider":"Automobilia Magpie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
