Ten Sterling Silver Thimbles, an Amazing Start of a Fantastic Collection
About the Item
10 excellent thimbles, all are English except Nos. 2 & 10, made in the USA.
All are from a very large collection that I bought several years ago.
Most of the later ones - 1978 onwards will have been bought, as new, through the Thimble Collector`s Club.
The main and second picture show all ten, in numbered order, from the left.
The next ten pictures show each thimble individually, in the same order.
Any questions, I`ll be pleased to answer.
