Got these today--the Ex Lax thermometer looks old--has anyone seen one of these before?

There's a thermometer like that at a local antique store here, It's like 130$ and minty.

The Flying A pump sign came from a dump site outside of a small town in OK. In this crevice were stacks of Tydol/Flying A signs. The guy I bought this off of sold me a couple of 48" Tydol Flying As from this site. This was the only pump plate he found. Evidently, Flying A had a strong presence in Oklahoma in the 40s and 50s.

The Ex thermometer came out of another dump site behind an old frame house.
