content: This is a non-standard, possibly experimental, glass thermometer with a spherical bulb. The scale extends from about 60 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. The inscriptions read “J. & H. J. Green, N.Y.” and “Signal Service, U.S. Army No. 11.” It is enclosed in a glass tube that, according to Green trade literature, was “very perfectly exhausted of air and moisture.” James and Henry J. Green worked in partnership in the years 1879-1885.
