Steam Punk Rain Gauge
But it’s moved beyond the realm of fiction literature. People are remaking modern equipment such as home computers and TVs with lots of ornate brass and wood work to give the overall effect of steam powered Victorian era contraptions put together by some mad scientist. Along those same lines we have Jeffersonian Steampunk Rain Gauge. This 31” tall contraption made out of glass and brass not only gives you that quaint Stempunk look in your garden but it’s actually a functioning rain gauge; and it even has a lifetime guarantee. The rain gauge is available from Clean Air Gardening for $159.99 
Steam Punk, it’s what all the cool kids are doing these days. The term came from a parody of cyber punk and originated in the fiction works of authors such as K. W. Jeter and Tim Powers. Those authors themselves derived a great deal from HG Wells.
