This is my new Thimble.
My new Old Thimble.
I found it at a shop when I was on vacation in Wisconsin.
Isn't it beautiful? I love the design etched on it.
And it's sterling. And I found it at a bargin!
And...it fit me.
If you look at it from the bottom, you can see that it is mis-shapen.
It is kind of an oval instead of round.
I think over time, it became the shape of the finger that wore it. I wonder about the woman whose finger shaped this thimble that I now own.
and the shape fits my finger perfectly.

What a sweet find...and it fits! I have fat fingers, so all the antique thimbles that I have are too small.
