W. Hillyer Ragsdale -- The Candy Specialist
This is a Tyco's Confectioners Thermometer, Tyco No. 5904 Size 12", manufactured by Taylor Instrument Co., Rochester, NY and Toronto, Canada.
It is made of brass and copper both and has wonderful patina. This comes with its original cardboard storage tube, which also has the original label on it.
The brass portion has the following original owner information stamped into the brass: W. Hillyer Ragsdale - The Candy Specialist- East Orange, N.J.
I did a little research on Mr. Hillyer and he was in business at least between 1924-1940. Rutgers University Library has a small collection that was helpful.
