I'm not on a treasure hunt exactly. I don't really believe much would turn up. Most old glass rectal thermometers are probably at the bottom of landfills, and in medicine cabinets of old homes occasionally. If you're lucky you can find them for outrageous prices on ebay, because ebay sellers are greedy, and then you have the bidding wars. If you don't get your hands on some antique thermometers within the next few years, you will either pay $100 each, or you won't be able to ever find them again. They've been picked over, like everything else that's valuable.
