Cute new old stock thermometer in the original box. The company would supply the service station owners these types of advertising items free of charge. It was a win-win for both parties. Typically these pieces are damaged as they were heavily used. Many collectors have a space in their home or garage where they display these types of pieces. Rec rooms are a great place to hang these signs. Some collectors specialize in a certain brand or category such as gas & oil pieces.

Why order this New Old Stock Fleet Wing Petroleum Products Thermometer?

Today, Fleetwing Corporation offers a wide array of automotive-related products. It is a multi-branded petroleum distributor that offers an array of lubricants, fuels, mineral spirits, Orchex citrus spray oil, and anti-freeze. It provides its products to the citrus, road construction, and phosphate industries, as well as the likes of fleet owners, excavators, dealers and installers throughout Florida.

This is a thermometer that the company would have provided to the owners of service stations. The product was promotional and gave the company the chance to advertise its products at a low cost. The service station owners would have received these thermometers for free. As many were heavily used and typically discarded, this piece is a true find. It dates back to the 1940's and remains in excellent condition. The thermometer measures 7" x 2.5" and weighs about 4 oz. It would make a great option for any enthusiastic collector of historic automotive products. While the product is Fleetwing branded, it was manufactured in Corisca, Pennsylvania by the Kennedy Bros. Oil Co., thus providing a special connection with an industrial region.
