Hey guys, I like hourglasses. Do any of you own one or more?

I have a three minute egg timer; does that count?
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

Lol. Nice one Brother.
Im looking for a nice antique wooden one. Some of the new ones are made with that old look to them as well. It would be beautiful on my bookshelf alongside a couple other items

I had one but broke it trying to make a trick with it. I wanted to be able to slip a card into so as to reveal a picked card.

I have two. One is brass and one has a wooden frame. I like the wooden one better except that it has purple sand. I prefer sand color . The brass one has white "sand".
We used to use the wooden one in a running gag with me (as an eager apprentice) doing a trick if there was time. I'd turn the hourglass while the Wizard was not looking to stretch the time. The Kids loved it. -Mary Mowder |

I use a 10 minute sand timer for intuitive readings/fortune telling... IMO, it's classier than a mechanical dial kitchen timer and/or digital timer (I also have both of those types of timers as back-ups, and for longer readings).

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

Sometimes our Wizard had an egg timer sandglass that had a nice wooden frame on a fob as a gag (along the lines of a pocket watch on a fob).

Hey All
I love hourglasses and I built my very own because I could not find what I was looking for. Here you can see me with my signature thought of card in hourglass effect. |

I have an exact 1:1 ratio replica of the hourglass of the Witch of the West from the 1939 film, "The Wizard Of Oz"
No clue how to post a photo of it here though.
