This 1940 Coke thermomeer is missing the thermometer. I really like the 40s silhouette.
Does anyone know where I can find a replacement themometer?

One of my fav thermos. A real beaut!
Hey Spriteboy42, I'll give you a little trivia information. int the movie "It's A Wonderful Life", when George is a young boy and working in Mr. Gower's drug store, he's waiting on Mary, making her a shake or something and right behind him is your therm! Yes they got the era totally wrong but it's in there as well as other Coke items. See how many you can spot! There's a nice old stained glass piece and a nice older tray as well.
I'm gonna guess that Spriteboy42 never even heard of, let alone watched "It's A Wonderful Life."
I actually watched that for my first time this past holiday season. I noticed the all the advertising, then I watched "A Miracle on 34th" (first time as well) to see if I could spot more.
true, never saw that movie, but it would make a nice prop!
