Hills Bros. Coffee Thermometer Additional Details

This old Hills Bros. Coffee thermometer shows it wear and age, but is in great condition overall for an item that is over 100-years-old. All of our vintage signs are sold in original, unrestored condition because we believe any dings, dents and blemish are part of the history and story of the item. Advertising thermometers were a popular item between the 1920's and 1960's, thus making this Hills Bros. Coffee Thermometer, one of the earliest examples of this type of advertising. Thermometers were distributed by a great number of brands. Common antique and vintage thermometers include the round ones resembling a clock face, with a hand pointing to the temperature. The vertical rectangular (such as this sign), or cigar-shaped thermometers with a mercury meter in the middle were also popular. Thermometers reached their peak popularity in the 1950's and 1960's, with some advertising thermometers, such as this, were often in the shape of a bottle. Common advertising thermometer Brands including Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mail Pouch Tobacco, Hills Bros. Coffee, John Deere, Pabst, Sunbeam Bread, Nesbitt's, Exide Batteries, Royal Crown Cola, and Hire's Root Beer all issued thermometer signs at some point. All of our signs are guaranteed to be authentic, backed by over a century of experience in the antiques and collectibles marketplace.

About The American Art Works (Excerpted From BrewAF.com)

The American Art Works started out as the Tuscarora Advertising Company which was a beer tray and sign manufacturer founded in 1895 in Coshocton, OH. Breweries could either commission a unique design or use one of Tuscarora’s stock images tailored to include their logo, bottle design, and other specific design details on their beer trays. At that time beer trays were just used to serve beer, they were also used as advertising pieces to promote a specific brewery as well as their products.
