The new home pictured on the thermometer is a building on Exchange Row, which was purchased by Piscataqua in 1924, and remains the banks property even today. This thermometer was made by the Parisian Novelty Company of Chicago, a manufacturer well-known for their celluloid items, and has a nice paper makers label on reverse.

VINTAGE: Circa 1924.

SIZE: Approximately 6-1/4 in length and 2 in width.

CONSTRUCTION/MATERIALS: Celluloid, glass, cardboard backing.
