Interesting update...My mother had a few moments of somewhat clearer thinking this morning...I told her about this forum and she remembered that this hourglass didn't belong just to my grandmother, but to my GREAT grandmother, who lived in Palestine, TX...She had passed before I was born...Not that that added info would help with a possible location, who knows where it could have come from. But it could very well date it further back...Thank you for the link cogar. I just signed onto it...I'm worried with never finding out, now... I won't sell it for nothing without finding it's possible origin..Everyone who has asked questions and made comments are moderators and hero members....Good questions and info helped me describe it better and look up other sites. And yet there's still one post that has kind of stuck in my head....Bigwull, how did you know that was where 'that man' kept his big book???
Could someone explain Karma on this site, to a humbled 'newbie' please???
