Ame

can
lithographed enamel tin advertising wall thermometer,
featuring
Art Deco
typography, in ultramarine blue, tangerine peel orange, canary yellow and champagne enamel colors. It's pressed tin body has rounded, curved edges. A pre-drilled wall mounting hole for a wall fastener is at the top. The graphic iconography, as well as the period typography, has an
Art Deco
conceptual attitude. A cigarette pack with cigarettes appearing from the top of the pack is diagonally placed upon the pictorial field, giving the graphics diagonal motion, for which was designed to catch the viewer's or passersby's eyes. At
12" in height,
it's not a large wall thermometer and although it has some condition issues, such as some unfortunate minor to moderate surface oxidation, which slightly interrupts the lithographed enamel surfaces adjacent to the glass thermometer, it makes up for by its early vintage pedigree and by its rarity. A great
Ame

vintage tobacco advertising piece.
Not just for a man cave but for anyone's cave. What are you feathering your nest with?
CONDITION:
Fair to Good overall vintage condition.
