Good. (N/A). Rust all around the "Bottom" edge up to about 6 or 7 mm consistently all around - looks like it must have been lying down for a long time. Couple of enamel chips to the upper left and another on the word Fever. Some more chipping and marks like this around the outer edge. Dirty and grimy. Wooden backing looks to be original. Lower copper clip over the glass tube is broken. Rust in the groove around the bulbous part where the main glass bulb is hidden. Theremometer appears to work or at least change with the temperature - we certainly can't guarantee it is accurate! Great piece. Very nice and worthy of display as it is. (Not for post.
