Description

This attractive outdoor weather instrument pays homage to the 18th century quirky inventiveness of Thomas Jefferson.

The Jeffersonian Rain Gauge uses a mechanical float and lever design to measure up to 5 inches of rain in 1/5 inch increments in a glass tube. It is made of solid brass with a stainless steel indicator arm to ensure easy reading of the instrument as the brass naturally weathers.

This rain gauge will turn into the wind to ensure an accurate measurement, or may be tightened down to fix its location.

Includes two 14 inch brass rods plus a pressure treated wooden stake for a total length of 42 inches, as well as a hanger bolt for optional installation on a post fence or deck rail. Total height with hanger bolt installation is 14 inches.

Dimensions: 12-1/2 inches wide x 14 inches tall (deck mount) or 42 inches tall (w/wooden stake for ground or garden mount)
Materials: Glass, brass and stainless steel
Conant Model VRG-7. Assembled in Vermont.
