- Pattern: Advertising Thermometer, Dogs, Irish Setter & Pointer Dogs, Hunting
- Made in USA
- Vintage: 1952
- Details: This is a wonderful piece of history when in the early 1900's local service providers, and large retailers, gifted items to their customers as part of their advertisement. Gasoline stations, plumbers, beauty salons, even large companies like Coca-Cola, have all gifted items, including thermometers. They figured these would not be thrown away as easily as a sign, so the practice continued well into the 1960's. These became so popular as home decor and collectibles, that in the 1980's some companies made reproductions with a retro-feel. This piece is a true original, not a reproduction, and it's in perfect working condition. This has a much-loved 1945 print from Henry Hintermeister called "Hunting Dogs". Shows two dogs by a lake, busy at their favorite activity, while their owner hides in the brush. This piece was given out during the holidays in 1952 with a new mini calendar for the upcoming 1953 year, on the back. The advertisement is for Samuel Galinsky, a plumbing and heating company in Jacksonville, FL, (no longer in business). It is framed in a gold-tone metal frame and it can be hung on the wall. This piece would make a nice addition to any man-cave, home bar, or rec-room. Great for a advertisement collector, or hunting enthusiast!
- Materials: Metal, Glass, Paper and Mercury (inside the Thermometer)
- Dimensions: 5 x 4 inches
- Condition: Vintage - Used. Excellent Vintage Condition. There is rust on a small spot on the frame and the paper has yellowed over time, all acceptable due to age/use/wear.
