Humidity/Thermometer gauge Stations?

What are some inexpensive, small in size, quality analog dial or digital humidity/thermometer gauge stations that can either set on a shelf or attach to a wall that work properly?
Thanks

  Picked one up about a month ago literally on the side of the road. Possibly fell off the back of a truck while someone was moving. Not a scratch on it and it all works. Antique from the 40's or the 50's.

  Juggernaut,
  
  If you could tell us how much you are looking to spend, I can make some suggestions.
  
  At work, being an accredited calibration shop with NIST traceability, we have to have a work shop that is relegated to their rules. We have an analog that tells both temperature and humidity, that is calibrated to +/- 5%, and the same +/-5deg. F semi anually. It cost around 129.00 from Fisher Scientific.
  
  The ones with the digital sensors have to make sure the sensors re maintained for the RH, or they are all over the map. Meaning they use a wet bulb/dry bulb measurement, and the one bulb needs to have the wick kept moist.
  
  If you look around though, you can find the neat little weather stations, for any place from $50.00 to $1500.00, depending on how extravigant you want to get. We also have a higher end one of those mounted on the roof at work. I will send you a link to it tomorrow, so you can see what stuff it can do.
  
  Best
  
  EDIT 1
  
  Just an FYI, as here's the weather station I promised. It cost around $1100.00. It has all the bells and whistles.

  A decent quality sling psychrometer will run less than $100, easily.
  
  
  Not one quite that high-speed for this application and under $100 should be more than enough; just a standard 'all in one' type digital or analog humidity/temperature gauge that can either sit on a shelf or hang on a wall would suffice. I have looked through alot of them online and in different stores and most are either junk or when tested give inconsistent readings. For now I have pieced together one from apparent quality parts but would prefer a manufactured unit if possible and wanted to see if anyone might know of a quality inexpensive unit is all.
  Regards
