Yes, there is one on eBay right now, but they are asking $80. These come up on eBay fairly regularly, I’ve bought a few at averaging $50. All of the old dealers in this glass have been out of stock for a few years. The Kendall you posted would be an easy replacement as you just remove and replace rivets on the ring but Pam style thermometers are very hard to replace properly, they weren’t meant to be taken apart.

The 12” round glass is the same for Pam and most non-Pam round thermometers. There are some 10” round thermometers and the fairly rare 11-3/4” thermometers where the 12” won’t work. I collect round soda thermometers, so not 100% sure on the Kendall, but odds are very good that it fits. They key is that the Kendall has a ring with rivets so you place the glass inside the ring and either rivet or screw back together. Much easier than Pam where there is no ring, rather a full body that wasn’t meant to come apart.

I just bought a bunch of thermometer and clock glass from a vendor at Dixie Gas. I bought round and square bubble glass. I will get you their name when I get unpacked and find it. -Steve
