Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this as a gift for a collector. He was thrilled and pointed out the thick brass plates used in construction. Absolutely the best one available out there. Came perfectly intact in the good packaging.
In addition, the seller is too good to believe in today's market places. They sent me a compass by mistake along with this hourglass and insisted that I keep it as a gift from them. Every communication was very cordial and helpful. Worth every penny to do business with such dealers. Recommend them highly!

This 6" antique style hourglass is constructed from brass and runs about 5 minutes.
Hourglasses were one of the few ways of measuring time out at sea. It's been suggested that their use started as early as the 11th century. Magellan even carried 18 hourglasses on each of his ships during his trip around the globe. His pages used them to provide the time for the ship's log. From the 1400s they have been used in capacities ranging from kitchen timers to industrial uses.
These hourglasses make beautiful display pieces in any nautical or old fashion decor.
