I hope I have found the right place?? I recently acquired a very nice Quaker MAID, 13' Round thermometer, and have no idea where to find info on it? Google has nearly nothing on Quaker Maid items, but again I admit I am novice to the oil collectibles game. Anyone have any idea where to look for info, or what it might be worth. I'd give it a 9, on the 1-10 scale JW

Please post a picture of the item to get a value opinion. Direct upload image help: http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=129148 Jim "Oldgas" Potts Your host and moderator

Many of us here in SL used it to keep our old junkers running back in the 60s and 70s.
