18th. century Sand Timer, Hour Glass

Price: sold

A very nice 18th. century sand timer, hour glass. The sand timer has both of the bulbs joined and wrapped with string and wax. 1760 is the year when the single or unitary “bulb” began to replace the earlier two-part bulb that had been conjoined by a combination of fiber and sealant. So this sand timer is dated around circa 1760 or before because it is of two conjoined bulbs. This particular piece has its original tin container although I believe the lid is missing. I was told this particular sand timer is most likely German. Four pillars and wire support and hold the cage together. It measures 7 inches tall and 3 3/4 inches in diameter. Price: sold
