RARE Vintage Henry J. Green Brass Rain & Snow Gauge Weather Meteorologist Instrument. This rain gauge comes apart in three pieces. The top piece has a funnel shaped collector that empties into a long cylindrical collection reservoir contained within the main body of the rain gauge. During seasons in which temperatures are above freezing water enters the inner tube (made of brass) and measured with the measuring stick. Oil is used to prevent the water from evaporating between measurements. During seasons when the temperatures are below freezing the funnel top is removed. This gauge is all solid brass! Feet will need to be straightened so it sits evenly. Some dents around the bottom of the cylinder. 4-piece set with an inner cylinder, the large cylinder, a measuring stick, and the top funnel piece. Measures about 28.5 tall with a 8.25 wide diameter. These hardly ever come up for sale! All of the pieces (other than the measuring stick and legged base) are solid brass. The whole instrument weighs about 15lbs. Great for anyone who collects early meteorology / science instruments or who would like to put it in the yard and make use of it again!
