ARTIFACT:
Great 1920's – 1930's Large, Moxie Advertising Thermometer. The painted steel sign depicts a Moxie bottle at the top with a black circle to the right reading: "DRINK MOXIE, TAKE HOME A CASE TONIGHT". Just below the color changes from Moxie orange to green and reads: "DRINK MOXIE GOOD AT ANY TEMPERATURE" and the sign features a thermometer to the right of the wording with temperature range of 20 degrees to 120 degrees. The bottom of the sign depicts a 'doctor' with dark hair, blue eyes, and wearing his lab coat. He is pointing his finger towards the viewer and below him reads: "DRINK MOXIE" underneath in small lettering it reads: "TRADE MARK, REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." This sign is a classic!
