Sewing Thimbles and Decorative Thimble Display cases post 518

 I looked online for thimble display cases. The ones on Amazon cost over one hundered pounds sterling. But you can buy a case, a bit scratched and battered looking, already filled with thimbles, for under twenty pounds plus about 3.95 postage, online from charity shops. Here is one for you to admire.

Souvenir thimbles are widely available, both new and second hand.  I have always found the parcelain ones too bulky to use and like the metal ones for sewing. If you are keen on collecting thimbles, you can join a local or international thimble collectors' club.
