Inspired by Thomas Jefferson's notable prowess for mechanical invention, the Jeffersonian Wind Gauge measures both speed and direction. The stainless steel pointer of the brass wind gauge is easily visible along the 0 to 40 mph scale. The cobalt blue glass counter-balance points out the wind direction on the wind gauge while acting as a damper to keep the speed indicator steady.
Made from solid brass, glass and stainless steel. The finish is lightly antiqued and within a few months' exposure to the elements, it begins to age gracefully and develop a warm brown patina. Each Jeffersonian Wind Gauge includes two 14-inch brass rods plus a pressure treated wooden stake for a total height of 42 inches, as well as a hanger bolt for mounting on a post, fence or deck rail.
