Here we have an old great looking Thermometer, It is an advertisement for
Reynolds Super Service Station, It is made of wood with a light house
picture at the top With their welcome logo saying at the bottom. It measures
10" long x 4 3/8" wide. It has a little wear from age but still a great
little collectors piece. Has some wear to one side of the edge at the bottom
...where a small top layer of wood has come off but does not affect the look
... just gives it the great patina look. It has some rings at the bottom
like it had something hanging from it or maybe they are their for hanging
what you want to from them. The bottom saying is covered with glass. it
reads .....

Welcome Guest! Hello, Guest and howdeedo
Welcome Guest! Hello, Guest and howdeedo! This small room belongs to you,
and our house and all that's in it- Make yourself at home each minute, If
the temperature displeases Take a couple of our breezes; and if that should
chill you sit upon our radiator, If a hunger pain twitchin' Make a raid upon
our Kitchen- Help your self to book or blotter, Easy chair or teeter-totter;
All is yours that you like best. You're at home, Now I Welcome Guest!


   As we say in North Dakota, "Uff da!"
