Yes talesofthesevenseas, it might be a bath thermometer but as you can see the images that I have only one case of it. Maybe there would be another parts of it but they were lost so long ago. I thank you all for your interest and help. I also thank you Ipcress for the link, I will contact Bonhams about the thermometer.

I am happy finally to find out what is written but I can't still find any images related to it. By the way, yes it is brass, KC. I don't know maybe it is a cheap copy of Faberge? I see lots of famous names of the workmasters (especially of Faberge) while searching. I had only one result about O.Richter, the workmaster of the thermometer which I have but it is about a protractor.

I just learned that it is Russian. It is "Celsius O. Richter [surname of the owner, probably]
S. Petersburg" It is what a Russian wrote to me.

Thanks for your help, Mat. I have looked at that website/thermometer. I wish my thermometer could be valuable as that one. It is interesting  that I can't still find any similar images for the thermometer.

Thanks for your reply, mart. I will search in the Internet as "antique clinical thermometers". I was looking only for "antique thermometers" but now I see more similar results as searching "clinical" one.

Hello, I am Cem and I'm from Istanbul. I would like to ask you for a favour. My grandfather's father was a pharmacist in Istanbul when there was Ottoman Empire so naturally he had some medical equipments related to pharmacy. I have an antique thermometer in its box but I can't google it because I can't read what is written inside. I guess it can be French or Greek. I am here to find out what is written inside but it will be good to learn the estimated price of it. The thermometer is about 100 years old. I don't know maybe it is not a valuable thing.

Thanks
Cem
