Description from HiBid
A vintage advertising wall thermometer prominently featuring 'HORTON SALES COMPANY' at the top. The thermometer has an off-white or cream-colored rectangular body with decorative curved top and bottom edges. Red borders frame the upper and lower information panels, as well as the central thermometer scale. The thermometer displays temperatures in Fahrenheit, ranging from -40 to 120 degrees, with a visible red liquid column. The upper panel lists 'HORTON SALES COMPANY' as 'Distributors' for 'Tires, Batteries, Automotive Supplies, Equipment - Air Cooled Engines, Chain Saws'. The lower panel provides contact details: 'Phone ED 5-3301', '604-14 Independence', 'Cape Girardeau, Mo.'. The item is designed for wall mounting, with a visible hole at the top center and a mounting bracket at the bottom. The condition suggests it is a used item, showing minor wear consistent with its age, but no apparent major damage or functional defects to the thermometer itself. An auction lot sticker with the number '1496' is affixed to the top left corner.
