This thermometer shows a front and side view of one of the famous San Francisco cable cars. Although it does not say "San Francisco" on it, the seller at the estate sale where I purchased it said she bought it in San Francisco. She's fairly confident it was purchased during a trip in the mid 1970s.

It is made of metal of some sort, not tin or aluminum because it's heavier than that. It measures 4 inches at the tallest point, and 5.25 inches side to side. It has a hook on the back for hanging on a wall or post.

The thermometer works. I sat it outside alongside of my regular thermometer and watched it for several days. It recorded the exact temperature as my old stand by one. It's in great condition, but there are a few slight tarnish spots, mainly on the top. You may be able to take those out with a piece of steel wool.

A note about the thermometer dial - it is removable (why you'd want to remove it, I don't know). It is pressed firmly into the slot where it lives and will not fall out on its own. However, if you use a bit of force and push it from the back it will pop out, so be careful about that.

Buyer to pay $7.99 USPS First Class Mail Package shipping charges. Shipping is from Nevada.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT POSSIBLE PARTIAL REFUND OF SHIPPING CHARGES:
Every January the U.S. Postal Service increases the shipping prices. This year's increase is beyond any we've seen in previous years. Before the 2019 increase, shipping costs were based on weight. A package weighing less than one pound cost the same amount regardless if it was mailed 2 miles away, or from coast to coast. Packages weighing over 1 pound were priced by what the destination zipcode was.

Now, the postal service has divided the United States in to 8 zones and all packages are charged by weight, size, and destination zone. Now it is not possible to state a shipping cost and have it be valid regardless if the package is traveling 2 miles or all the way to the east coast. I am in Nevada and probably 90% of the packages I mail go eastward, and a majority of them go all the way to the east coast.

To complicate this even further, Google will not show items for sale unless they have a designated cost, or unless the seller uses calculated shipping. My web host is not equipped to figure calculated shipping, so I have to quote a shipping charge using the east coast as the final destination and then refund over payments. When I return the overage, I usually do so by including cash inside the package when it's shipped. My feedback page will show verification that I do return overpayments.

As a buyer, there are two choices. If you over pay on the shipping charges, I refund an appropriate amount to cover the over payment OR if you'd like to send me a message stating your zip code and the item you are interested in, I can quote you an exact shipping charge and send you a custom invoice with an accurate shipping charge.

About Combined Shipping:
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased, but as stated above, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of over payment. If you are uncomfortable with that, send me a message with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.

International shipping charges will also take a tremendous leap. International shipping will now depend on the country. Buyer must contact seller for international shipping charges before making a purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.

All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
