All original rustic look and the way I like them, but someone could restore if they wanted to. Vintage. I think it was manufactured in the 1950's. The bottle cap at the top is embossed or raised. Surface rust places, scratches, discolorations and fading. Original old green color on the back and it still has the thermometer enclosed in the original wood on the back. Great old tin ? metal Pepsi-Cola advertising thermometer/sign. Measures approximately 27 1/2 inches long. Some dings and places. Again, used, all original. Probably was on the outside of an old country store. It shows use and age, related wear. Pictures taken of all sides/angles, including some close-ups that will hopefully speak for the condition and description. Please look at all the photos and again, hopefully they will speak for the description. Getting harder and harder to find. Thanks for your interest and looking. Different shipping options available.
