This one was snagged by my wife at auction to surprise me. Well she did alright. I asked her how much she payed for it, she said that wasn't nice to ask. Lol, I guess she's right but I hope she didn't give $500 for it! She later told me she hadn't. It's actually a 1940 therm. Really great condition too,
thermometer doesn't work though. Long "C" trademark! Made by Robertson
