    Description

    Occident Flour thermometer.  "Makes Better Bread."  Russell-Miller Milling Company.  Still works.  Measures 4 by 15 inches and 1/2 inch thick.
    Here's the history as I know it.  I've had this hanging on my house wall (several houses) for the last 50 years.  I got it from my Father's estate when he died in 1971.  He owned a general store in West Virginia for most of his working career and my grandfather owned the store before that.  So, it's been in the family a long long time.  Exactly how old it is, I don't know, but I remember seeing it hanging in the store when I was a kid and heaven only knows how long it had been there before that time.  The store sold flour so most likely this item was provided by the flour company to display and advertise their flour.  Free Shipping.
    Item will be carefully packed for the journey to your door, and thanks for looking. -Bob
