The Little Fisk Tire Boy Fiberglass Statue
“Time to Re-Tire” was the slogan coined for Fisk Tires when they started using The Little Fisk Tire Boy around 1910. Not sure how old this fiberglass statue was when we restored it about 6 years ago, but like other fiberglass restorations it entailed stripping the old paint, fiberglass repair work, primer, sanding, base coat of paint, airbrushing the details and then clear coat to finish. Don’t remember how big it was, but I’m guessing around 5 feet tall. Hope you like him.

Wow. About 5 years ago I did a series of 10 reproductions of a 3-piece screenprinted metal Fisk Boy floor standing display for a fellow who was selling them at the Barret Jackson Auction here in Southern California. I sure gave him a bargain.
I do replications of period electric and other types of vintage signage as well as some restoration work. If you have any need for my services you can e-mail me or just phone my shop at 619-542-1756 here in San Diego.
Thanks,
