An extremely rare & most attractive pre-war enamelled advertising garage thermometer, produced by Castrol to promote their oil products. It features red 'Castrol' script, plus Wakefield' & 'Motor Oil (Patented)' insignia to top area & 'Lubricating Oils' in white to bottom edge, all over contrasting green. The sign retains its original glass thermometer in full working order, which is protected by a small enamel plaque which appears to have never been removed & is often missing from signs of this type. A sensational example, featuring only light enamel loss/wear primarily to the edges, plus very light staining to white 'Lubricating Oils' text, which doesn't detract from the overall appeal of the sign. Highly attractive, fully functioning & ready for hanging back up on the garage wall. Approximately 75cm tall.
