Wooden Advertising Thermometer for Weimer Packing Co., Fort Henry Meat Products, Wheeling, West Virginia

• Measures: 10” tall x 3.5” wide
• Weimar Packaging Co. was founded in 1896 therefore dates this item to very late 19th, or very early 20th century. Note the two four-digit phone numbers for the business at the bottom.
• Nice printed text on top and bottom of central thermometer with printed calibration at center.
• Beveled wood edge on four sides and original hanging loop on back.
• Interestingly, a second enclosed 5” glass thermometer was added as original glass tube (still intact) probably failed. This is not a recent addition and has the look of an antique itself, though could definitely be removed if purchaser desired.
• Condition: Wear, paint loss and staining as seen in the photos. Advertising still wholly readable and second thermometer seems to be accurate. Nice early piece!
