Yes! They still do exist

Hey Everyone!Hope everyone and your families and friends are happy and well.I hope the moderators do not take this as promoting a commercial, outside venture. It´s meant as helpful info.I found this one Ebay several months ago and have ordered from this supplier several times since for both home and office. Very, very reliable! Each thermometer comes in it´s own case, perfect for your medicine cabinet, night stand drawer, desk, or even your purse or brief case (LOL!) They are red triangular tipped, ¨stubby¨ bulb style, These are the real thing and the price can´t be beat! I order 10 lots to keep them in stock for both the practice and at home. Should hold me for a while, even with the kids. They seem to become a little clumsy when I ask them to get the thermometer at times. It seems the cap falls off inadvertently and it drops to the ground, breaking. Weeeeel, with this case, it´s not an issue. They also come with sheaths for multi-pt use.Best to all!Becca

Thanks.

I have bought quite a few over the last few years. The problem is I don't have a case holder for many of them. Not a good situation if one of these breaks.

I like the veterinary thermometers, nice and long and fat, just right for a naughty girl before a spanking and an enema.

One can never be too careful when it comes to the old classics. I have quite a few old ones I obtained on Ebay. Many still came with the instructions and date of manufacture. Some back to 40s. I love the idea of the travel case for protection rectaltempgal!

You can still buy rolls of cotton, like cotton wool, to pad things.

The hardcase for eye glasses works well too

Me too

Cool!

Thank you for the ideas. I have about 400 thermometers. I have most of the thermometers in our condo storage area. One of my neighbors is 80. He asked why I had so many thermometers. He knows I own an entertainment company, so I thought of saying I use them for my doctor act, but that would not explain the amount. I told him I collected them because they are not made anymore.

The title of this forum thread reminds me of the M&M commercials at Christmas...."He does exist! They do exist!"

The three glass thermometers I own come in a protective case . There is an individual compartment for each thermometer and it's marked with the colour of each thermometer , so there is no way they can be mixed up.

Some people grew up with having their temperature taken rectally and those people are taking rectal temperatures on their infant and toddlers today.
