This is an original Howell Weir Gage from Butte, Montana. The piece was made by the Weir Gage Manufacturing Co. The purpose of the apparatus is to measure the volume of flowing water. It was originally marketed toward land owners and irrigation engineers. The instrument comes in the original wooden box and includes an original pamphlet that would have been mailed by the company to a prospective buyer. It is in very good condition. The tubing has become stiff but the piece appears to have never been used. The wooden box measures 4" x 25.5".
