Quick Overview
- Made from recycled industrial artifacts from the World War II era
- Bobbin pieces from United Kingdom
- Hand-blown glass globe
The timer is composed of antique wood spools found in abandoned textile mills in England. The spindles and wooden base were used from 1939-1945 during World War II in a factory in Barrowford Mill, Nelson. The spindles are pewter shielded to protect the edges of the spool. A vintage thread spool sticker is placed on the base to give it even more character. The globe is hand blown in the UK
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. Shown fully assembled.
