Super nice antique thermometer made of metal, I think copper but don’t know for sure. It is signed upper left Andrew J. Boston with a lion. In the center three quarters down it is signed Tycoc Rochester NY. Very well made even has a hood to keep the rain out. The glass is completely intact. Condition: good antique condition. Size: about 11″ by 3″ by 1 3/4. I found another example of this thermometer and some information which I have pasted below. Six’s maximum minimum thermometer. 22.8 x 4.5 x 5.5 cm 9 x 1 3/4 x 2 3/16 in. A thermometer consisting of a very long tube that makes several turns presenting two long vertical segments each with its own graded scale printed in gold numbers on the case that holds the thermometer. The vertical segment to the left is labelled “COLD” and has a scale between -130 and 60 degrees (unknown units, most likely Fahrenheit), is partially filled with mercury at the bottom, and also has a thin metal pin inside its capillary. This scale is probably inverted. The vertical segment to the right is labelled “HEAT” with a scale between -50 and 140 and is partially filled with mercury at the bottom. There are reservoirs inside the tube at both of its ends. At the leftmost end, after a bend at the top of the “COLD” segment, is an empty stretch of tube. At the rightmost end and directly above the “HEAT” segment, is a bulb filled with a yellowish liquid, probably alcohol. The thermometer is attached to a black enamel case with a small roof at its top and a hoop for hanging it. The item “Antique Tycos Thermometer ANDREW J. LLOYD CO. Boston VERY VERY NICE!
