Vintage German Silver Wine and Drinks Thermometer with Silver vine leaves
A charming wine and drinks Thermometer. This lovely German thermometer is cased in a silver cover with vine leaves and grapes to state what it is for. There is a silver stamp on the rim, too small to pick up - presumed to be German.
The instructions for the various temperatures of wine in German can be clearly seen on the back end of the thermometer - this is encased inside. : Rot u Sussweine 16-18°, Weissweine 8-12°, dtsch. Weinbrand 8° Schaumw 6-8°, Bier u franz. Weine 8-10°, franz Cognac u Edelikor 16-18°
Condition: Good vintage condition with some wear commensurate with age and use. The thermometer was tested on warm whiskey and cold water, the red-colored alcohol inside the thermometer moved up and down to indicate temperature. The Red alcohol has a red solid line on the top end of the thermometer which does not move. The box and thermometer might not have started out together.
Great gift for the winemakers, wine connoisseurs, bar owners, spirit merchants........ just to name a few

Footnote :
Antique or vintage items have been used and as most antique dealers would say "PRE-LOVED", they will show signs of wear that is commensurate with age. Now this will appeal to some as it authenticates it's age.
I will always try to list all faults found with each object to the best of my ability and photos form part of the illustrative narrative.
All vintage used items are sold "as is" . If in doubt please ask questions before you make your purchase, I am always happy to answer and send additional photos if required.
