**Vintage Springfield Outdoor Thermometer in Original Packaging**
This is a vintage outdoor thermometer manufactured by Springfield, featuring a large circular dial face with dual temperature scales (Fahrenheit outer ring, Celsius inner ring). The thermometer has a white/cream colored face with bold black numerals ranging from -60°F to 120°F (-50°C to 50°C), housed in what appears to be a metal case with a glass or plastic front. A red indicator needle points to the current temperature reading. The face shows "SPRINGFIELD" branding and "ACCURACY GUARANTEED" text.
The item remains in its original turquoise/teal colored cardboard packaging box, which shows "SPRINGFIELD" and "WEATHERPROOF" text along the sides. The packaging exhibits moderate wear with torn corners, scuffing, and general age-related deterioration, though it remains structurally intact. Based on the typography and packaging design aesthetic, this appears to date from approximately the 1960s-1980s. The thermometer face shows some minor discoloration and aging but appears to be in good functional condition.
**Estimated Dimensions:** Approximately 8-10 inches in diameter based on the proportions of the packaging box.
**Estimated Value:** $15-35 USD. This estimate is based on the vintage outdoor thermometer collectible market, factoring in the retained original packaging (which adds value) but accounting for the packaging's worn condition. Similar vintage Springfield thermometers in original boxes typically sell in this range at antique shops and online marketplaces.
