FREE: PRINCO chemical thermometer w/ PUBLICKER label... WOW!

The listing, PRINCO chemical thermometer w/ PUBLICKER label... WOW! has ended.

This is a PRINCO 11" long, 3" immersion thermometer, graduated from -30 to 120 degrees F. Still in it's original sleeve with original "Publicker Industries - Chemical Products Division" tube seal and "Publicker Industries Inc." address label. Publicker started in the 1920's and shut down in 1986 after a 40 year downward spiral. In 1987 the EPA declared the Publicker facility a "Superfund" clean-up site. There is now a Walmart there. Neither the tube, seal, label or thermometer is dated... that's for an expert to determine. It's at the latest, from 1986, which makes it at least 26 years old, but seeing as the sleeve is cardboard and the label has a "1960's art deco" feel to it, I think it's older. Tube, labels and thermometer are all in excellent condition. I picked this up a few years ago at a little junk shop north of Scranton PA. Ask for more pics if you need them.
