User: Neptune Oil Producers & Distributors Address: Inglis St, Port Melbourne, VIC Revenue Use: 1954 issue: 1d. Rarity Scale: 1954 issue 1d R4. Background: The Neptune Oil Company
was registered in Australia in 1905 (some sources
report 1909 and 1912) but Neptune products had been
sold in Australia since about 1894 by a business run
by the Kitchen family. This company was purchased by
the Lever Group in 1914 and their Motor spirit
(petrol) went on sale in 1917 under the “Waratah”
brand name. From 1924 it was progressively available
in every state through multi brand service stations
with the product being packaged into various sized
containers from a facility in Brisbane.
