"A large Hour Glass, over 1 foot high, is a wonderful object to behold!"
When we first set eyes on these large
hour glasses, we knew we had found something special.
They are made by a company in the North of England, who
have for 30 years garnered old industrial artefacts belonging
to our industrial past from all over Britain. They have
a workshop where all re-useable parts of these artefacts
are cleaned, waxed and polished, turning them into a wide
variety of interesting and beautiful objects. Their aim
is to maintain the characteristics of the artefacts, consistent
with offering authentic, affordable and attractive gifts,
which you would be proud to give and delighted to receive.
Being
genuine and unique, it follows that these products are
always slightly different from each other.
Here we present two of our favourite hour glasses. |

A large Hour Glass, over 1 foot high is a wonderful object to behold, and we are sure Merlin would have been really proud of this one! The body is made from an old bobbin, originally used back in the hey-day Britain's textile industry. |

| 3-Tier Timer |
|
Our 3-Tier Timer is special in that it has three chambers, making it slightly more unusual. Unlike the Hour Glass shown above, which times 1 hour, this timer is set to run over 5 minutes. |
