Petroliana Dealer & Stock Insurance

Business coverage for petroliana dealers, pickers, and shops — protecting for-sale stock, consigned items in your care, your premises, and the liability that comes with selling collectibles.

Insurance for Petroliana Dealers & Shops

When buying and selling petroliana becomes a business, a collector's policy isn't enough. Dealers, pickers, restorers, and shops carry inventory for resale, hold customers' pieces on consignment, sell at shows and online, and invite the public into their space — all exposures a personal collectibles policy excludes. Petroliana dealer and stock insurance is built for the trade.

Stock & Inventory

Your for-sale inventory — signs, pumps, globes, cans, and automobilia held for resale — is covered against theft, fire, breakage, and other perils, on an agreed-value or reported-values basis as your stock turns. Coverage can follow inventory to shows and between locations, not just at the shop.

Consignment & Property in Your Care

When you hold a customer's pump for restoration or take signs on consignment, you're responsible for them while they're in your care, custody, and control. Bailee / consignment coverage protects those pieces — a gap standard property policies exclude.

Liability for the Trade

  • General liability for a customer hurt at your shop, show booth, or open house
  • Premises and products exposure tied to selling and handling collectibles
  • Certificates for show promoters and venues that require them

Built Around How You Trade

Whether you run a brick-and-mortar shop, sell from a barn, do the national show circuit, or trade online, we structure stock, consignment, premises, and liability coverage to match — so the business of petroliana is protected as well as the collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

I sell petroliana on the side — do I really need dealer coverage?

Once you're regularly buying to resell, a personal collectibles policy can deny claims tied to business activity. Dealer & stock coverage protects resale inventory, consigned items, and the liability of selling — even for part-time and show-circuit dealers.

Are customer items I'm holding on consignment covered?

Yes, with bailee / consignment coverage. It protects pieces in your care, custody, and control — a customer's pump in for restoration or signs taken on consignment — which standard property policies exclude.
