Authentic Vintage Mid-Century Price Funeral Home Advertising Thermometer
Original Local Americana / Detroit Metro Memorabilia / Troy, Michigan
Up for sale/sale is a beautiful, 100% authentic vintage pressed-tin advertising wall thermometer from the historic Price Funeral Home, formerly located in Troy, Michigan.
This genuine mid-century piece features crisp, clean lithograph printing with the touching period tagline: "True Sympathy Expresses Itself Through Sincere Service."
The bottom of the sign features the historic 2L+5N (two letters, five numbers) rotary-era telephone numbers: ME 4-4221 and ME 4-7543. The "ME" stands for the MElrose 4 telephone exchange, which served the Troy and Big Beaver, Michigan areas during the 1950s and 1960s.
Condition Details:
• Excellent Vintage Condition: This piece has been incredibly well-preserved. The front white lithograph finish retains its bright, clean background color with very minimal shelf wear.

• Structural Integrity: No rusting, severe flaking, or bending. The factory mounting holes at the top and bottom are clean and ready for hanging.
Dimensions:
• Approx. 6.5" inches tall by 2.5" inches wide
