Vintage advertising thermometers were popular in the early 1900s and were often found hanging outside of hardware stores, pharmacies and gas stations. Those made of metal like tin or porcelain were common, but wooden models were also available for smaller rural shops. They were typically designed with the name or logo of the company or product on them. Some of the larger companies, such as Pepsi, Mail Pouch Tobacco, Hire’s Root Beer and other beverage manufacturers, had large, metal thermometers that are now considered collectors items.
