I just called Productive Alternatives and this is the only rain gauge
they carry and it is $26.95 + $8.00 Shipping and Handling for a total of
$34.95 payable by check through the mail.  They don't have a web page.

Don and possibly others,

    I have been using a 4" gauge I purchased from a company in Fergus 
Falls, MN for about 12 years or more.  They were first introduced by TWC

as part of their "seasonal solutions" stuff.. anyhow, I've since ordered

two direct from the company.  The gauges are clear plastic with a 1" 
inner tube and the 4" outer tube.  About the only thing I dislike about 
them is over a period of time, the sun's UV will attack the plastic and 
make it craze, but it does not affect the thing except from an 
appearance standpoint.  The company does not accept credit cards or 
debit cards; I always just send them a personal check and they send the 
product back.   The full address of the company is:

Productive Alternatives
1205 North Tower Road
Fergus Falls, MN 56537
(218) 736-5668

    The price for the gauge and mounting plate plus shipping to GA is 
$31.95.  YMMV on shipping.  I'd suggest calling first to make sure there

has not been any price increases or shipping increases (what has not 
gone up?)
