This type of bottle thermometer is often seen up for auction on eBay, typically go for $35-$50. The bottle sign less frequently, I acquired this one in a bid auction for approx $80-$90. The bottle signs are nice accent pieces when placed amongst the larger signs. I've had these for awhile and enjoy them very much. Hope everybody has a nice weekend. 2012 ho!

Very nice finds Dave! Always look great on the wall!
I don't believe I've ever seen a Robertson Coke bottle-shaped sign that wasn't a thermometer. Daddy_Morebucks is just full of great finds. Can't wait to "love" his calendar post soon...
Thanks Ray. The finds wouldn't have been so great without some very good advice from you and others in the "8", that's for sure. I will be posting that '23 day-tracker next week (*Coming Attraction*)!
accents and fillers eh.... I'd call them a collection, lol. Nice ones Dave!!!
Thanks Perry and Tommy. Hope you guys have a fantastic New Year's Eve and Day. Here's wishing you many great finds during 2012!
Sweet signs Dave, that Robertson is a gem, not alot of those come up.
Happy New Year to you and to all, all the best in 2012!!
I have the TCA thermometer I got for $4.15 in nice shape except one thing...no glass therm.
Oh duh...forgot to mention HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Thanks Bernie and EJW!
Wow, $4.15, that's practically free! I think those glass thermo tubes are pretty easy to replace.
Mine I purchased as a 30" version, but when I received it was 17". Seller said she "got mixed up" while selling a number of thermos from her brothers collection. I liked it enough that we ended up settling on a $15 refund, which I believe put my end cost at approx $25 or so. Worked out well. I'm still on the look out for the large version of this thermo, they are not easy to come across.
