Traditional Yankee Goods
A collection of useful, reliable Yankee goods that would not have been out of place in a general store along a winding New England back road.
Harbor Buoy Bells
You can enjoy the haunting tones of Maine buoy bells anytime, anywhere the wind blows. Each wind chime rings with 3 distinctive tones, duplicating the sound of a specific Maine harbor buoy. The Bar Harbor bell is 14" tall. The Boothbay Harbor bell is 10" tall.
Superior Weather Glass
Just as it did in the centuries before the Weather Channel, this old–fashioned weather glass actually forecasts weather changes 8 to 12 hours in advance. The rise and fall of the water level in the long curved spout indicates weather conditions. As a storm approaches, decreased air pressure causes the water to rise in the spout. Low water level means nice weather.
This hand-blown reproduction evokes memories of old-time square-rigged sailing ships, is a useful instrument and a souvenir of an adventurous and romantic past. 12" tall, includes gleaming copper hanger and complete instructions. Gift boxed.
Brass 3-Minute Sandglass
The pocket-glass of the boatswain, used to measure ship's speed. Now as a paperweight, or timing your eggs and phone calls. 1-1/4" wide x 3-3/4" high Gift boxed
Ship's Glass
A ship's routine was ruled by the 30-minute hourglass, known as "The Glass". The helmsman turned the gimbaled glass over every half hour (as the sand ran out) then struck the ship's bell. Solid brass and hand blown glass, this gleaming 4" x 6-1/2" replica will add charm and practicality wherever you hang it. Gift boxed.
