This thermometer has a nautical feel it is in great working condition, but it is missing the plastic glass like dome in the front. The price listed reflects that dome missing. It functions perfectly and it is metal. The metal is in great condition as you can see, the paint is bright and vibrant. This piece is available to ship upon request. Shipping here on any purchase is six dollars. This item is light, so I cannot imagine that there would be too much more added to this amount for shipping but if there is, I will reach out and we can talk about that.
