VINTAGE ORIGINAL ROYAL CROWN COLA THERMOMETER SIGN BEST BY TASTE TEST Nehi 1948.
Very good vintage condition. Paint does show some wear. There are several dings, scratches and scrapes indicative of its age. However, metal is super solid, as is the thermometer insert and wood brace on the back. Does show some patina, but no rust holes. Very solid piece and has a lot of character. Measures 25" long and 11" across. Thermometer seems to work, and is also accurate within a few degrees. This metal thermometer is and advertisement by Nehi corp. for Royal Crown "RC" Cola.

I believe this particular piece was manufactured in 1948. Again, this is a very solid piece. There is some paint around teh bottome left corner and along the bottom edge from someone not removing it before painting the wall it was on. Please see pictures. There isn't a huge amount of it and isn't very noticeable when the piece is hung on the wall. This is really the most significant damage there is. Don't miss your chance to own this amazing piece of advertising.
