Dunning, John
Hourglass
When clocks and watches were rarities, found in only the wealthiest homes, some people used glass vessels filled with sand to measure time. Morgan Dwyer, who married William King's wife, Elizabeth, in the 1780s, has an hourglass listed on his 1787 estate inventory for the King-Bazemore House. The accompanying video describes the item. Date approximated.
