GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Keep professional essentials close with a Marathon Oil metal business card holder inspired by a name woven into American energy history. Marathon's story began in Lima, Ohio, as The Ohio Oil Company in 1887 and evolved after the 1930 acquisition of the Marathon brand. This desk and meeting companion suits collectors, energy professionals, and anyone who appreciates the sharp visual language of industrial and corporate heritage.
Marathon Oil began in Lima, Ohio, in 1887 as The Ohio Oil Company. Standard Oil acquired the business in 1889, and Ohio Oil became independent again following the 1911 breakup of Standard Oil. In 1930, Ohio Oil acquired Transcontinental Oil Company and its Marathon retail fuel brand, a transition that gave the company the name seen on generations of petroleum signage and merchandise. The company adopted the Marathon Oil Company name in 1962, when Speedway 79 and Marathon fuel stations were consolidated under the Marathon name. U.S. Steel acquired Marathon in January 1982; USX Corporation then served as parent of U.S. Steel and Marathon Oil. Marathon re-emerged as Marathon Oil Corporation through the USX separation in 2001 and subsequent 2002 renaming. In 2011, it spun off downstream operations as Marathon Petroleum. Based in Houston from 1990, Marathon Oil operated as an exploration-focused company before ConocoPhillips acquired it in November 2024.
