A friend’s father was a Winchester guy, long story short he found this new old stock large shot shell thermometer with box and asked if I can help value it. He may also allow me to to post in the classifieds. The box measures 8” x 27”.

Thank you

Paul K

I edited your post to align the pictures. The trick is to type you post first, then place your cursor in the exact location you want the pictures to appear when you upload and attach them.

I do not know what that neat old thermometer is worth, but know somebody who does. With your permission, I will send them a copy of the pictures and inquire as to the possible value.

Hi there Paul K,

You have an original Winchester-Western thermometer from the mid-1950’s up to 1960.  The condition and the box make it really nice and would sell quickly.  Without the box, it would bring between $300-$400.  Adding the box would increase the value some…basically it would be up to the buyer how much they would be willing to pay extra for the box.

Burt / Jennifer, Thankyou so much. Appreciate your time to review and provide your expertise. I will talk to my friend, I know he wants it to go to the right people, hoping he will allow me to post in the swap meet here.

Nice thermometer! I have the one that was hanging on the employee entrance at the old Winchester Canada plant.  I have a couple but no boxes for them
