As the Victorian cotton and woolen mills closed throughout the industrial North of England and Scotland over the last 40 years the antique wooden bobbins and shuttles left behind have been transformed into original wooden items.
This bobbin sand timer has pewter accents with pleasing natural sand. The sand glass is hand-blown. 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 slightly. We consider this to be a special part of their history and character.

Ordering the product was a very pleasant experience. Talking through the logistics, the engraving options, and the delivery options was clearly communicated. The resulting product exceeded expectations. The engraving is very well done and the hourglass very well crafted. Highly recommend. This was ordered as a graduation present and was very well received!

This was far better than expected. Perfect gift for our sons 50th birthday. This company was a pleasure to deal with.

Purchased for my husbands office and it looks great. It’s so different, not the same old hourglass that everyone else sells. Love the look. Couldn’t decide between black sand or natural, may have to buy both. 😃
