Description
Designed to resemble a vintage advertising thermometer!
Commercial advertising on wall thermometers has a storied history, harkening back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These functional advertising tools became popular as companies realized that coupling their brand with an item of everyday utility meant repeated exposure to consumers. Often made of metal or tin, and later, porcelain enamel, these thermometers would be prominently displayed in public spaces or outside businesses, offering passersby not only the temperature but also a vivid advertisement. Many of these thermometers featured the names and logos of soda companies, agricultural products, service stations, and local businesses, becoming collector's items over the years.
