Found my first Thimble

RickyP · Dec 26, 2008

Finally got out today to do a little dirt fishin, so I figured I'd go to one my favorite spots to look for some buttons. This particular area has given up 25 buttons, including a 2nd Regiment button from 1812 that was found by a fellow Tnetter. I found a gilted Eagle button that is fairly small, must have been a cuff button, and a copper Thimble. Its the first one that I've found. Take a look......

That button looks pre-CW (although I'm miles away from knowing lots about US buttons only UK) Your get many more thimbles but that button you may not get too many of. Have you got a full ID for it? I would be dancing about that stunning button 8)

very nice job on the thimble!!!!

I remember when I found my first thimble, I was really excited!

Mine was from the 1940's but yours looks to be from the early 1900's to the 1920's. Do you know the exact date on it?

Crusader,

I dont have any idea on the ID of the button. I was kinda hoping maybe some of the button experts on here could tell me. I did do a little jig when I found it, until I realized I was being watched.

I dont know the date of it. A friend of mine found one many years ago that was silver and a deer head cut into the side of it. I tried my best to talk him out of it.
