Amazon.com Review
Whether it's meant to be decorative or not, the big thermometer outside the kitchen window is décor. And, if it's one of those cheap plastic jobbies, especially one that's sun-faded and cracked, then it is unsightly "décor." So, if you've got a shabby thermometer to replace, or you're just in the market for a thermometer, why not make it a handsome piece like the Vermont Natural Brass Dial Thermometer? Constructed of solid brass, copper housings, and real glass, the Vermont Dial Thermometer is built to last, and adds an upscale vintage feel to the home; combining practical simplicity with a timeless design. Its brass and copper are naturally resistant to corrosion. Left to weather and age, the thermometer will take on a rich, dark patina as seen on copper roofs or outdoor lanterns. A 4-1/4-inch dial face is easy to read from across the kitchen-the numbers are plenty big, and aren't too close together. An outdoor swivel arm bracket ensures mounting at just the right angle. The thermometer displays both Fahrenheit and Celsius. And, convex glass housing protects the precision-calibrated, so this unit stands the test of time, thrives in inclement weather, and survives the occasional jostle. Manufactured in Vermont, this classic thermometer is guaranteed for life! --Brian Olson
Product Description
Shouldn't a weather instrument be as durable as your house? Shouldn't it enhance your view while it measures the temperature? We think so! That's why we use solid brass and copper housings and real glass. These classic thermometers combine practical simplicity with timeless design. Solid brass and solid copper endure well outdoors because they are naturally resistant to corrosion. Left unattended, they will attain a rich, dark patina like that of a copper roof or outdoor lantern. We do not apply a protective coating to the surfaces of our outdoor products because there is no clear coating that lasts as long as the raw metal itself. This dial thermometer is finished in natural brass and uses a 4.25 inch diameter dial face with an outdoor swivel arm bracket for mounting at just the right angle.

Is Vermont in China?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conant Custom Brass Model T-6 Vermont Natural Brass Dial Thermometer (Kitchen)
I was very disappointed when I discovered that this particular T-6 Vermont Thermometer was "Made in CHINA". I own other Conant Brass products and have been very pleased w/ them. When this T-6 arrived, I placed it beside the Conant thermometer I've had on the front porch for years. It was reading off by several degrees, so I looked at it closer. CHINA was stamped on the back of the brass housing. The product packaging seemed to indicate it was made in Vermont, so I studied the box for about 10 minute before I found the very inconspicuos "Made in China" inside one of the Conant Brass trademark circles on the bottom of the box.
Although Conant Brass didn't say it was made in the USA, there was that implication. The fact that the required "Made in China" label on the box was so deceptively? hidden really angered me. I returned it.

World's best outdoor thermometer,
This review is from: Conant Custom Brass Model T-6 Vermont Natural Brass Dial Thermometer (Kitchen)
I recently purchased this thermometer to give to a friend and did so based on my first hand experience. This thermometer is an excellent example of something that is beautiful built in terms of form and function. It's simplicity gives it a classic look. It ages beautifully and one never has to worry about any finish giving out. The first five years of its life were spent outdoors on a deck in Vermont. It has seen just about every conceivable weather imaginable. Thirty below temps, driving snow, rain, freezing rain and baking summer sun to name a few. To put it simply, it lived in a world of constant abuse and always performed perfectly. Every time I've checked its calibration, it's been dead on. I image I'll have this thermometer for the rest of my life unless I lose it somehow. I suppose its only downsides are that it reads inaccurately when direct sunlight hits the brass and the numbers aren't big enough to see from far away. Both of these shortcomings can be easily dealt with, however.

Like the brass... but not sure how accurate it is...,

This review is from: Conant Custom Brass Model T-1 Vermont Natural Brass Outdoor Thermometer (Kitchen)
I ordered this because I like the look of the brass holder. I read the reviews that complained about the numbers being too small, but that did not bother me. (My husband thought it was too small to read though, so he agrees with other reviewers.) When it arrived, it read the accurate temperature inside, so I hung it up outside. When it was outside, the temperature was not reading accurately. It was anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees above the actual temp., so I contacted Amazon and they sent me a replacement. In the meantime, we had some really cold days, and the thermometer seemed to start registering correctly. Who knows? When the second one arrived, I put it out next to the first. The second one registered anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees above the first one. So, I am not sure how accurate these thermometers are... Anyways, I ended up returning the second one as it seems the first ended up being closer to the actual temperature (at least I think!)
follow up- Sept 2009 - the thermometer is now stuck at 63 degrees... pretty sure it is not always 63 degrees here! 2115|R1009P2BIUCO02;2115|R2X4RBCPX2B6JF;2115|RUXXHAWCJ4OLW;
