The timer has been carefully cleaned and polished and presents very well, with a pleasing aged patina remaining in recessed areas.
Tested and runs for approximately 5 minutes (around 5:08). As with all sand timers, timing may vary slightly depending on conditions.
Constructed with a solid brass frame and clear glass ampoule containing white sand. A well-made decorative piece, ideal for a desk, study, library or display.
Please note: This is a decorative sand timer and not a maritime or navigational instrument.
Condition is good vintage overall, with light age-related marks consistent with use. Please see photographs as they form part of the description.
