This is a very cool RC ~ ROYAL CROWN COLA Soda Thermometer that measures approx. 26" X 10" and looks outstanding!  Has the slogan "The Fresher Refresher" at the bottom.  Has the logo with multi colored diamond crown, as opposed to the pretzel crown they used a lot more often during these years.  This particular logo was less seen and much less used...therefore its more desired and highly sought after by knowledgeable collectors.  There is a number "512' printed at the lower left edge and "Donasco  61" printed at the lower right.  Has the letter "D" printed at the bottom of the temp scale.  Not mint by any stretch.....but a very good looking vintage/original thermometer that you don't wanna miss.  Has no bends or twists and lays very flat as it should.  Still has a nice high gloss and lustre to it.  Paint is nice, clean, tight but has a few very small nicks, stains and flea bites here and there.  There is some extra paint overspray and light surface oxidation down the right edge.  Thermometer tube seems to work well and be very close....but we cannot guarantee its accuracy.  The back side looks dirty and has some light surface oxidation.  Check the pictures for the best description.  This item has not been cleaned....as we'll leave that to the new owner.  This item was previously listed but there was a rogue bidder playing games with the bidding process, and also one who has now been banned from bidding here on our items.  Feel free to ask questions if ya have any and be sure to see our other stuff too!  We'll combine shipping costs for you if you purchase more than one item from us.  Don't miss this very cool vintage soda collectible.  Thanks for looking and Good Luck with your bids!
