This rare St. Louis Crystal Water & Soda Co. thermometer, dating from the 1920s, features a porcelain finish and a lead-weighted bottom that allows it to stand easily. The graphic on the top is an excellent Lily framed by the business name “St. Louis Crystal Water & Soda Co.” The weighted base reads “Beverages and Liquors” and measures 2 inches wide. Overall, the porcelain thermometer stands 6 inches tall and is in excellent shape. The mercury tube is a replacement, as it does not fit correctly in the housing. A few chips are on the outer edges of the thermometer, along with a half-inch chip on the back of the base. You will love to have an excellent example in your collection! Due to the mercury content in the thermometer, this item is UPS shipping only. 21097-QQP
