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.
