c. 1950s; Continental Distilling Corp. - Philadelphia, PA
Tin advertising thermometer for Cobbs Creek Blended Whisky, featuring vibrant red and aqua graphics with a large bottle image at top. Marketed as a "Drink-O-Meter," the thermometer is flanked by cocktail recipes, each paired to a suggested temperature range-from highball mixes to whisky sodas and old fashioneds-adding a playful mid-century twist to brand promotion. The bold lettering at the base grounds the piece as a striking display item, typical of postwar liquor advertising.
