Mine wasn't a name brand though it had a glass cylinder and a container outside of that. There was a 10:1 ratio between the size of the funnel opening and the smaller cylinder inside so it actually measured in hundredths of an inch rather than the tenths it was marked for. The most you could measure at once was 1 inch (10 inches on the cylinder). Fine for the late 80s not so much now haha. I used to measure snow with that too, by taking the cylinder out and measuring how much snow fell in the outer container. I dont know what happened to it, one day I woke up and it was gone. Likely the garbage man threw it out.... or stole it. Then I had one of those digital ones with the remote display which I got in October 2005. Worked wonderfully for a month or two before it wouldn't display rainfall totals anymore no idea why. I actually have another digital unit (complete weather station with wind direction and speed indicator and rainfall gage but since it's another digital one I'm scared to put it outside and it get messed up lol.) I'll just get another one of these glass cylinders and stick it in some part of my yard where no one can see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
