What exactly does this measure as far as temperature?

I’m shopping at Ebay and this comes up…

I’m up soon in the wee hours for a long Saturday shift, going to bed soon, gigantic riddle in my mind, gigantic run-on sentence, but I’ve racked my brain for an hour and I know I’m going to feel like a royal idiot when you tell me but I read product manual, I know this is a bi-metal (analog not digital) thermometer but–

–what is being measured from the 200F - 1000F range? A smelter? Can’t be food-related. Curing a buffalo carcass? Something automotive?

All I got is maybe materials tested for a Venus expedition? Or volcanic measurements?

It’s probably something as mundane as a foundry but still…what does this thermometer measure?
