A vintage advertising thermometer with a broken tube is not an attractive piece. A new tube will not only increase the aesthetics of your thermometer but will dramatically increase the value as well.

We pride ourselves on outstanding customer service, and you won't be disappointed! Not sure what size you need or you have installation questions, we are happy to assist.
A great vintage thermometer is worth far less money if the tube is broken or missing. Fortunately you can find a replacement glass thermometer tube right here. The cost to get your thermometer back in working order is minimal compared to the value added to your prized collectible. It's well worth the investment!
All of our tubes are high quality glass just like the originals. Plastic was never used by original advertising thermometer manufacturers. Don't accept lesser quality.

(All of the RC's to the left take 15" tubes.)
We've just added the 7" tube needed for the Donasco and Robertson 16.5" metal thermometers. Although the design of the thermometer was the exact same by both companies , the tube attachment design was different for each. The Donasco uses a very thin rigid wire which is difficult to replicate. An industrial staple can be bent to match very close to the original. The Robertson uses a more flexible wire holder which we have replicated and can include upon request.
Please note a third version of this exact style thermometer was made by a company called TCA. It uses a 6" tube which was glued in. We don't presently offer the 6" tube.
