Vintage Betty Furness Westinghouse Thermometer Set - 1950s

Description

This vintage set was made in the early to mid 1950's. Some sets have a red ball or like this one slightly varnished wooden ball.

The set contains a Candy/Deep Frying Thermometer (glass), a Roasting Thermometer and a skewer to old your roast or turkey together!!

This item was manufacturered in Springfield, Ohio (USA!)by the Chancy Mfg. Company.

The thermometers and skewer are in excellent condition and perhaps not even used. There are no signs of grease, burnt sugar, etc. The box has that vintage used look no doubt from being stored in the cupboard with other items of long ago on top of it.

Who is Betty Furness you say - read the link below. In her day, if Betty said it was a good product; our moms bought it.

So, here you have not only a nifty vintage thermometer set, but a piece of early television history and the role of women in that medium.
