Thank you for the proper name, although even with that I still can't
remember what we called it.  The depth of knowledge in this forum is
inspirational.  With "Stokes" added to the search, I checked for images,
and found "A national network of Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorders is
comprised of selected meteorological observing sites with several located
in the Atlantic Provinces." listed on an Environment Canada government web
site: 

I'm sure there was a protective cage, or some other way to keep birds off,
but I do seem to remember a lock and chain on the apparatus itself.
