Item Description
Inspired by Thomas Jefferson's affinity for invention, this unique device 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.
This 2nd Generation Jeffersonian Rain Gauge is crafted from solid brass, glass, aluminum and stainless steel. It includes a solid steel deck mount and foundation rod, a stainless steel float that will never chip or leak, and a re-engineered gauge pointer for more precise measurements.
Highlights:
- NEW powder-coated stainless steel float will never chip or leak!
- NEW solid brass, steel, and aluminum construction for long lasting service!
- Timeless art-piece adds sophistication and purpose to outdoor spaces
- Large easy-to-read numbers - visible from a distance
- Can be easily calibrated for precision
- Ground and deck mounts included
- Durable, attractive finish; won't peel, flake, or rust (patinas with age)
- Finish: Living Finish Brass
