Description
All of these are original - not modern reproductions.The first in line is an advertising piece for Gold Thimble Scotch (repousse, not engraved). It has a very bright and shiny gold finish, in excellent condition.
Next in line is hand-painted porcelain. Looks early 1900s.
Third is a 1940s advertisement for Real-Silk Hosiery Mills, Indianapolis, Indiana - aluminum. Minor wear to blue enamel.
Fourth is just a sturdy, 1930s-50s steel thimble marked 7.
Fifth is either celluloid or camel bone (it has pyramids and palm trees painted all around). There is discoloration from use on the inside. I would guess 1930s-40s.
The last is a tiny metal thimble that is impressed FOR A GOOD GIRL on both sides. I see this listed elsewhere as a Cracker Jack toy, but it seems to be better made than that to me.
All six for one money.
Please see pictures and ask questions before bidding.
