Does anyone know the colours of Pratt’s pre-war road tankers? I know that their slogan was “Pratt’s, from the golden pump”, but the few (black and white) photos I’ve seen of their tankers seem to show a darker colour. Any help greatly appreciated!

i saw that motor on bangers and cash this morning…it never sold…
Toy and Model lorries are usually a good indicator of livery colours, it’s possible looking at these below the colours may have differed pre 1920 but I couldn’t find anything for the 1930’s chances are the livery was the same as the dark green 1920 model, the other two with the yellow paintwork are said to be dated 1910 and 12. Franky.
Thanks for the quick responses - I think ‘green’ has it. I’ve since found this shot of a restored Albion A10, which along with your evidence, seems to confirm that. The colours for the 2-gallon cans differed according to the grade of petrol within, apparently. Incidentally, Pratts became Esso in 1935, according to Wiki.
