id="mod_30034238">Old Antique Vintage Advertising Thermometers
Vintage Advertising Thermometers like Coca-Cola, O'Keefe's Ale, Nu Grape Soda, Nesbitt's soda, Mason's Root Beer, 7-Up Soda, Big Giant Soda, and L&M Cigarettes are very popular with antique collectors. Outdoor advertising thermometers were used in the old days to gain brand recognition by many gas and oil companies and soda companies. Some of the most popular antique soda advertising thermometers are the large advertising Coca-Cola thermometers. Antique collectible gas and oil thermometers that have recently fetched the highest prices on eBay include 1940s Pepsi Girl Advertising Thermometer that sold for $1324 and a 1930s Moxie Soda Tin Thermometer that sold for $728. While some people only collect the most rare antique thermometers, others collect every variety of old tin thermometers, which can be bought on eBay for around $10. Some collectors prefer to only buy the pam style or round thermometers, while yet others amass a collection of large 36" thermometer advertising signs. Regardless of the reasons behind collecting only certain types of these vintage pieces, antique collectors buy and sell thermometers every day.

It's funny how times changes. We no longer see this type of advertising in abundance anymore. Now a days, there is so much advertising done through the TV and the internet, that company's simply don't make items like this any more. And that's why they are so collectible. There are many company's who have gone out of business and don't exist anymore, so you can't find anything else on the market from them. Today, people who buy outdoor thermometers are more likely to buy something with a pretty design, rather than hang a sign with a company's name on it. Unless, of course, you are a collector.

How Much is My Vintage Thermometer Worth? To estimate the value of your antique thermometer, try to find the selling price of a similar item in the same condition as yours.

there are several Mail Pouch thermometers on eBay advertized as "vintage" but are new in box. Are they repros?

Hi, I have a "Dr. Barkers Horse Liniment" Thermometer with light surface rust and slightly faded but in good condition. Thermometer works great. I was just wondering what year this may have been made (or displayed) and it's possible value. I can send pictures. Thanks Tim

These are great reasons to keep an eye open at local estate sales. Great lens.

Some of these can bring some big bucks. You definitely have to keep your eyes open at yard sales, flea markets and auctions. You never know what you will find.
