Jeffersonian Thermometer Price: $245.00
Thomas Jefferson was an avid gardener, a follower of meteorological trends and a contributor to scientific understanding. He surrounded himself with devices designed to enlighten his understanding of the natural world - some of which he designed himself.
Had Thomas Jefferson designed weather instruments, they would have been attractive, long-lasting tools designed to reflect a gardener's reverence for the sun, the wind and the rain.
The Jeffersonian Thermometer, T-24, uses a unique pierced brass drum gauge, with separate Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales to allow readings from either side. A large isolated bimetallic coil allows an accurate reading even in full sunlight. Large pierced numbers with relief in contrasting stainless steel together with stainless steel pointers make it easy to read. Each thermometer includes two 14 inch brass rods plus a pressure treated wooden stake for a total height of 46 inches, as well as a hanger bolt for optional installation on a post fence or deck rail. Total height with hanger bolt installation is 18 inches.
Like all Conant garden products, the Jeffersonian features solid brass construction.
