Description: RARE Reverse Painted Mirrored Advertising Thermometer - Salesman’s Sample – Works - MCM A rare and whimsical advertising novelty with a working Thermometer and Christmas Elves! This vintage 1940's? reverse painted silhouette mirror & thermometer is a unique piece of memorabilia of the forgotten art of advertising thermometers. They were a popular form of advertising for everything from bakeries to liquor stores to meat markets, and from food, automobile, healthcare and photography industries to World’s Fair expositions. This seems to be a Salesman’s Sample or demo piece as the promotional area where normally would be a business’ name instead reads: “YOUR ADVERTISEMENT Neatly Printed In This SpaceSTYLE No. 112” I couldn’t find these Christmas Elves anywhere online during my research of the piece… let me know if you do. Whether you're a fan of vintage Advertising collectables, Thermometer collectables, or simply appreciate the charm & whimsy of this piece, it's a wonderful item to own. Condition: The thermometer is intact and seems to be in working order and accurate. The cardboard backing is securely attached. Also has a circular hook attached for hanging. There are a few spots on the mirror and the frame has some minor scrapes. Measures approx.: 9.5” L x 5” W x ¼” D. Pre-owned, very good vintage condition - there are a few spots on the mirror and the frame has some minor scrapes, and a little tear on back side. Overall, there are signs of aging and wear – but do not detract from its beauty - See photos for complete condition details as they are part of the description.
