Vtg Solid Brass Hourglass Sand Timer Pink Sand - 3.5" Egg Tea Timer - Works!

Lovely vintage solid brass cased hourglass sand timer with pretty pink sand.

What it is: Mini egg timer / tea steeping timer / game timer / meditation timer / desk decor. When you flip it, the fine pink sand streams through the glass in about 2.5-3 minutes. Great for timing a soft boiled egg, steeping loose leaf tea, or a quick meditation.

Details:

• Solid brass case with oval viewing windows - not plated

• Flat top and bottom with diamond crosshatch pattern on base - can stand on either end

• Original pink sand - clean and dry, flows smoothly - see photos with sand stream

• Measures approx 3 3/4" tall per ruler photo, 1 1/2" wide at base

• Weighs about 8 oz - nice heavy feel

• No cracks to glass, sand intact, brass has light vintage patina / tarnish from age - can be polished shiny if you prefer, sold as-found estate condition

I tested it - works! The sand may clump slightly if stored long, just give it a tap.

Perfect for cottagecore kitchen, nautical desk, brass collector, or as a sweet Valentine's / Mother's Day gift.

Exact timer in photos - all 5 photos are the same timer from different angles including size with ruler.
