Hi Bill, I have been watching and have not seen any metal Sign Pole Thermometers, are they common, Here is a picture of mine

The only metal pole thermometers I have seen have all been Texaco.

Forgot to post that one. Scott's right as Texaco is the only metal one I have ever seen. They do show up but are hard to find in nice shape. Bill.

Since I posted a Pepsi thermometer I figured
I shouldn't ignore those who choose the competitor. Here's a Coke for You!
