TCA Tru-Temp Coca-Cola Bottle-Shaped Thermometer - This is a Coca-Cola promotional wall thermometer constructed from die-cut lithographed tin in the shape of a contour glass bottle. The sign features realistic graphics of a full beverage bottle with condensation droplets, bubbles, and a green-tinted neck. The face displays the Coca-Cola script logo and the Coke script logo, both accompanied by registered trademark symbols. A white vertical temperature scale is positioned in the center, featuring a Fahrenheit range from -30 to 110 degrees. The scale is marked with the TCA logo on the left and the Tru-Temp brand name on the right. The bottom edge of the metal sign is stamped with MADE IN U.S.A. Based on market consensus for visually identical pieces, this item is attributed to the manufacturer Donasco. The thermometer utilizes a glass tube filled with red spirit liquid, which is secured to the metal backing by three metal clips. The reverse side of the sign is finished in an olive-grey protective coating and features a vertical reinforcement ridge.
