This is a screw-in holder for the 10" plastic rain gauge from LaCrosse Technology, model number 704-1518.

The plastic stake would break about once per summer when I was attempting to take it down or put it back up. I designed this holder so the gauge easily slides in from the top. The holder is long enough to provide enough friction to keep it from coming out accidentally. This company appears to have several rain gauges with bottoms that look similar. This fits gauges with a T-shaped bottom with wide part of T = 1.5"/39mm x 2mm thick, tall part of T 0.825"/21mm x 2.5mm thick.
