Description

This vintage promotional thermometer for Shell Fuel Oil is a unique piece of petroliana. Hailing from the Johnson County Oil Co. in Franklin, it features a classic elongated metal body with a bold, easy-to-read temperature scale. The thermometer's face is adorned with the "Heat Your Home with Shell Fuel Oil" slogan, emphasizing its mid-20th century origins when branded household items were common marketing tools. Its worn appearance adds a touch of authenticity and nostalgia, making it a wonderful collectible for enthusiasts of oil industry memorabilia or for those decorating in an industrial or retro style.
