Hi John:

Three Hollers, all with 17 graduations. It would be interesting to establish a correlation between the number of striations on the thermometers and other characteristics. All mine with 17 graduations have tapered tangs and vertical graining on the center segment. graduations. All but the very earliest have stamped acorns on the sides of the scabbard.

Did you get out of armies because they dried up for a while? I did.
