Jeffersonian Rain Gauge, Brass

Item 12001

Inspired by Thomas Jefferson's affinity for invention, this unique rain gauge uses a float and lever design to measure up to 7" of rain in 2/10" increments. As rain fills the vial, the red ball rises, consequently causing the steel arm to climb up the scale.

Large easy-to-read numbers are visible from a distance. Can be easily calibrated for precision. Ground and deck mounts included. Powder-coated stainless steel float will never chip or leak. The 2nd Generation Jeffersonian Rain Gauge is crafted from solid brass, glass, aluminum and stainless steel. The living brass finish will patina to a rich, warm color.
