I grew up with these hanging on the walls in my basement. Recently took a rare trip home and found that they have been sitting in a box in the basement for a few years now. My parents gave them up more than willingly and said that they were on their way out to the trash any day. Smallest is Orange Crush, largest is Frostie Root Beer, and the mid size one is Pepsi. Debating keeping them or finding a new home. Either way, I am so happy that they have been resurrected from the box hidden in the basement of my family home!

Saved in the Nick-of-time....someone will chime in on this, for condition & in working order is important. I like the Frostie Root Beer one! Very Nice save amberlinn.......
I like the Frostie thermometer you have. I have an old Frostie root beer sign from about the same era that I will try to post later today.
The Frostie is 1950's, Pepsi is 60's and Orange crush is 1950's. The Orange Crush was made in about four different colors in the 50's, exact same style just different colors, a couple of them had different slogans.
amberlinn: when the debate is over, I would like to be the new home for them. Just let me know what you decide to do.
