I have had this thermometer hanging out in the garage for years. I happened to come across another website where one of these sold for thousands of dollars. It seemed to be in perfect condition. Mine is definitely in bad condition.
Does something like this still have any reasonable worth?
I hope the pictures make it along with this post.
Thank You
Dave

DAVE, YOUR THERM IS FAR FROM BAD. THE CHIPPING SEEMS TO BE OUTSIDE THE LOGOS AND ADS AND COULD BE TOUCHED UP IF NEED BE. I'M SURE ACE-HIGH/WIL-FLO COLLECTORS WOULD OFFER DECENT DOLLAR BASED ON IT'S DECENT COND.

Welcome to Old Gas! That thermometer is good enough that a lot of us would like to own it! ME INCLUDED! If you haven't already sold it, maybe an auction here on Old Gas would net you some pretty good results! Good Luck!----KEVIN

Whats the status on this piece? You asked for a valuation and we haven't heard back from you? Is the piece for sale or has it already been sold to another collector? If not, lets have an auction!!
