Item History & Price

This is the popular and rare large metal vintage "Some Like It Hot" thermometer from the 1970's. 38" x 8 " x 1"
Marilyn Monroe's billowing white dress from "The Seven Year Itch" (1955) is perhaps the actress's most iconic look, and one of the most popular outfits of all time. Banking on the popularity of the film, the famous image of Monroe was used to promote the release of her new picture, "Some Like it ...Hot" (1959), as featured here on this vintage promotional thermometer.
Like any collectible, prices vary greatly. Pictured here are ads from Amazon and Christies' auction house.
In very good condition, the thermometer is intact and works (how accurate, I have not checked in 30 years!). A few scratches, with one shown in the photo running through the word, "It, " but overall good cosmetics. It's a keeper; unfortunately, I have no more wall space for all my keepers. Please contact me if you have any questions.
