Collector Notes:
In the vintage advertising world, \"completeness\" is everything. Most of these thermometers found today are missing the calendar entirely. Finding one with afull 50+ year old paper padthat hasn\'t been touched is a rare find and a great addition to any garage or petroliana collection.
