The Original Charming Mercury Thermostat

The fun with the Original Charming Mercury Thermostat is that is works based on sliding the little lever to the desired temperature, which shifts the balance of the mercury to the “off” or “on” position. This of course depends on having the thermostat LEVEL TO THE WALL. Ours is dangling by one screw, and any adjustment to the temperature reading shifts the position of the entire thermostat, allowing us effectively two settings – Too Hot and Too Cold.
