VINTAGE ADVERTISING BOX OF THIMBLES ELDORADO THIMBLES 9 METAL 3 PLASTIC

Description

UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS GREAT LITTLE BOX OF VINTAGE THIMBLES FROM THE ELDORADO THIMBLE COMPANY.  THERE ARE NINE NEVER BEEN USED INSIDE THE BOX AND THREE PLASTIC ADVERTISING THIMBLES.  TWO FROM THE SSEWING CENTER IN HAMBURG, PA AND ONE FROM FILTER QUEEN.  ALL LOOK NEW AND NEVER BEEN USED.  PURCHASED AT AN ESTATE SALE.  NO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE THIMBLES.  THE BOX IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND PROBABLY FROM THE FIFTIES.  I REMEMBER MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER GOING INTO THE DEPARTMENT STORE NOTIONS DEPARTMENT AND BUYING A THIMBLE IN HER SIZE.  I BELIEVE IT WAS AN EIGHT, SHE HAD VERY SMALL HANDS.  THOSE LITTLE HANDS DID A LOT OF SEWING BACK THEN.  WISH IT WERE LIKE THAT TODAY.
