Vintage themometers

Brenda has a small collection of thermometers,she has had all these for many years before they were collectible and were all inexpensive,even the Coke thermometers.














Check out the phone number - 4



This one was free from a local radiator shop.



This one is brass and it's her favorite,I found it at a swap meet in Maggie Valley in a box of parts marked $1.00 a piece. HRP

 

Ooohhhh , I really like the FISH . Mitch.

 

I knew it! Now I need to take more photos.

 

Yeah Mark,it is addictive. HRP

 

I didn't realize how much stuff I have until this site came along.

 

Here's mine . Not much but all I got right now. Mitch.

 

You can tell yours has a lot of age on it,there is no phone number. HRP

 

You used to be able to pick those up at flea markets and such for nearly nothing. Now with shows like like American Pickers, everybody thinks what they have is worth a mint.

 

Can I play I have a few.

Nice thermometers guys.
I'm a little late to the party & have been trying to collect old signs, thermometers, etc....
My small collection is mostly ratty old road signs with a few petroliana signs(also ratty).
I have been on the lookout for some decent thermometers & have found a few newer ones(farenheit & celcius & seven digit phone numbers).
The nice old ones are way to expensive(thanks american pickers) & the crusty ones are way over priced(same).
I really like this new segment of the Hamb, some of you have some real cool shit.

 

A couple of vintage thermometers that followed me home......

This is a antique brass radiator thermometer. HRP

 

Some more thermometers...As said above, the Antiquated section makes you realize how much strange stuff you have accumulated over the years...and gives a certain peace of mind that you are not the only one out there with this "problem"...

 

Always a fan of these

 

Does anybody know if they make replacement temp 'tubes'?
I have seen many with broken tubes.

 

I would like to find one for an old Prestone porcelain one that I dug out of the woods.

 

Try ebay I’ve picked up a couple there.

Two days ago, I was out for 5 hours with the 32. It was like summer that day, after a cold and wet spell. Took lots of pics of the trip and this one shows a vintage thermo-rear view mirror on my car. It is very accurate and shows around 82 degrees that afternoon.
