| Full description: |
A glass thermometer with red liquid, attached to a wooden backing. The thermometer itself is marked from -80 to +40. The wooden backing has a shaped hole with chamfered edges at the base, suggesting the wood was reclaimed from something else, with a metal hanging hook fixed through the wood at the top. The thermometer is tied to the backing at the top and bottom with metal wire. 'PRIESTLEY' (Raymond Priestley) is written in ink on the wood, and 'B' is written in pencil.
