Some Thimbles I have found

ppratt · Nov 16, 2009

Over the years I have found many things but for some reason a Silver thimble realy gets me pumped. Here are a couple of my faves. The second from the right was my first. I never knew they made thimbles from silver till then, but you have to think I found this when I was 15 or so.

Nice collection. My wife bought one at Wallyworld and it was plastic $:-\$ They don't make them like they used to >:(

I don't think I ever found a silver thimble. They seem to be much more unusual than silver coins, even. Nice collection!

I found one in the wall here in my home when I redid the windows in my bedroom. Silver.
I have a feeling that thimbles are good luck, especially silver ones and particularly a found silver one.

I'll take a picture and post it.

According to my 101 yr old neighbor, a lot of "poor" ladies had at least one silver thimble. They were only used at sewing bees and quilting bees as kind of a show off status symble. The every day thimbles were tin, wood, or bone.
