A staple in a country or general store, wooden thermometers advertised items sold to entice customers into purchasing them. Like today’s displays, colors, and size grab your attention, and this wooden thermometer is eye-catching. It advertises Calumet Baking Powder, showing the can on top with a young lad beside the mercury tube thermometer. The lad resembles a Kewpie doll, a popular cartoon character in the early 1900s, and many advertisers used the doll in their advertising. The thermometer measures 22 inches tall by 5.75 inches wide, with a rounded top and bottom. The painted wood finish has aged nicely over the years, with sharp color throughout. The thermometer is working as well, but reads five degrees warmer. A few drops of paint are on the top part of the thermometer. A great thermometer that is hard to find these days! 21337-TWT
