Moby,
I went through Jefferson Iowa and stopped at their anual celebration; I have never seen a rain gauge like this before.
It was $20. You maybe could make one . . copper pipe to stick in the ground, a piece of rebar to hold it really good in the ground. Hardware store probably has the spigot; fitting to attach the spigot to the copper pipe . . little holder soldered on top . . . the rain gauge itself was a cheap purchased one with a plastic holder ( throw out the plastic & keep the glass vial) The little plastic crystal drop from a bead shop? drill hole in edge of spigot and get some kind of hooks to hold the drop on.
The silk ivy they put on it will probably fade but it was an effective marketing tool.

If you don't want to make one and can wait, I can go back next June and see if they show up selling them.
