Former advertising thermometer on ice from the Gilbert aux 4 corners pharmacy in Chartres

There was a time when the walls of 24 rue des Grenets in Chartres housed a pharmacy. It was the Gilbert pharmacy at Quatre Coins. All pharmaceutical, homeopathic and veterinary products could be found there.

This advertising thermometer on ice is in good condition.

The metal cover has traces of rust oxidation.

Its needle system works perfectly.

The glaçoid part has two slight cracks but they are not significant.

By the telephone number, we can place the time from 1928 and before the 1940s since in 1942 this pharmacy was the property of pharmacist Denise Blanchard.

Victor Gilbert already ran this pharmacy in the early 1900s.

Dimensions: 22cm x 8.5cm.

Very beautiful object linked to the businesses that have disappeared today and representing part of the history of the city of Chartres.
