Made from recycled industrial artifacts from the the early 1900s
Measures 5 minutes of time
Made in the United Kingdom
Hand-blown glass

This three tier five minute timer has a history as unique as its style. The timer is composed of pewter shielded antique wood spools found in abandoned textile mills in England. The spools were used to hold thread, cotton, and yarn that were spun into fabric. The spindles and wooden base date back to 1907-1913 and were used in a factory in Calder Valley, Yorkshire which wove the thread into a cotton tartan fabric. A vintage thread spool sticker is placed on the base to give it even more character.

As with all antique and hand-made items, the colors and decorations vary from piece to piece. We consider this to be a special part of their history and character.

Bigger than nine inches

We are delighted by this piece, though we do not yet had a chance to test if it "works" to limit the speaking of elders in our church group. But we were delighted that it is larger than advertised -- the glass piece may be 9 inches, but the whole thing is about 12 inches. So at lease our members can SEE it, even if they ignore it.
