Just a nice old Thermometer that we picked up several years ago to go with my addiction to Coca-Cola things. It measures 14" across. Glass is original and I might say is reflective as I see in the picture! Has the numbers/letter of 495A and the back and sides appear to be alumimum. I love Coca-Cola things!

Nice Therm!
You're in good company here oldhippee, more than a few of us are riding on that Coca-Cola train! Your thermometer is awesome. I love this version. Calls to mind the buttons and bubble clocks, similar vibe. That baby is clean!
Thank you both, Signaholic and Daddy_Nobucks!
I hope to dig out some of my other coke stuff and will post them too. And yes it is a clean and awesome piece, glad it never had a home 'outdoors' And did not spend much if any of its time there and has a new home now on our old back porch made into a foyer! I love this old place as hard as it is to heat!
