Your home weather station should start with an accurate thermometer that is easy to read. We like the mineral spirit thermometers because they are simple, having no moving parts, except for the temperature-sensitive liquid that rises and falls in the sealed glass tube. Never wears out or evaporates or freezes, and is not affected by gravity (will even work upside down!). These mineral spirit thermometers measure in the range of -40 F to +120 F degrees.

With this large thermometer, you can treat yourself to the elegance and accurate readings you want! 2 inches wide and 12.25 inches high.

These thermometers do not contain mercury! Non- mercury thermometers, such as these use pigmented mineral spirits which have proven to be just as accurate as mercury thermometers. Mineral spirits include a variety of compounds, and are derived from light distillate fractions from the crude oil refining process. Mineral spirit gauge thermometers rely on the principle that liquids expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. This type of thermometer consists of a reservoir for the liquid, the bulb, connected to a very narrow tube. The narrow tube accentuates the very small changes in the liquid's volume that occur when the temperature of the liquid changes. These thermometers are accurate to within +1/-1 degree.

All of our mineral spirit thermometers are 100% made in the USA.

7.5" high x 2.5" depth x 1.5" wide.

The Estate Thermometer, T-18, is the largest window thermometer on the market, bar none. This thermometer stretches over 38" from tip to tip with gigantic 1 1/8" numbers and with its spirit gauge accuracy, there'll be no guessing about the temperature. The solid brass components have been antiqued to a warm patina. An optical quality acrylic tube assures clarity and rigidity, while keeping the weight down to facilitate mounting. Non- mercury thermometers, such our column thermometers, use pigmented mineral spirits and have proven to be just as accurate as mercury thermometers (+/- 1 F in the middle of the range). Even these huge thermometers use only a few drops.

These thermometers exhibit a high level of craftsmanship once common in all early weather instruments. Our tabletop models offer the flexibility of measuring the temperature just about anywhere. Like their predecessors, they offer an aesthetic quality seldom found today. Solid brass and glass construction ensure their accurate and dependable performance. These thermometers are accurate to within +/-1° Fahrenheit. A thermometer of this high quaility makes a perfect gift with universal appeal...guaranteed! 7.5" high x 2.375" deep x 2.375" wide.

This deck thermometer offers all the same high quality features as our T-16, plus portability. Mounted on a solid cast brass base to ensure stability, this handsome thermometer will look great in any outdoor environment and indoors as well. The base will conceal the optional mounting hardware, for a more permanent placement.
