The screw does not hold the base to the thermometer, it is just sitting on the base in the photos. I think I can hear the bolt loose inside the thermometer that should hold it in place. Light finish wear. The aluminum mounting bracket has some wear. Some rust spots on the back. Please review photos carefully.

Guaranteed old and original.
