THIS FANTASTIC AND VERY UNUSUAL RARE VINTAGE/ ANTIQUE? BRASS DOOR J. ADLER & COMP. THERMOMETER IS MOUNTED ON A STINKWOOD MOUNT AND HAS BEEN ENGRAVED IN DUTCH. THE ONE INTERESTING ASPECT TO THIS THERMOMETER IS THE INCLUSION OF DATES ON THE THERMOMETER FROM THE MID TO LATE 1700's. THE THERMOMETER TUBE IS BROKEN, BUT CAN BE REPLACED. THIS INCREDIBLE THERMOMETER HAS IT'S SCALE IN FAHRENHEIT. THE BACK OF THE THERMOMETER HAS A PAPER STUCK TO IT WITH 1. GENUINE STINKWOOD, 2. CAPE DUTCH THERMOMETER 3. HANDWORK RIGHT THROUGHOUT (SEE PIC 8). I COULD NOT FIND VERY MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THIS UNUSUAL THERMOMETER!!! THE THERMOMETER IS 51cm LONG x 12.5cm WIDE.
