    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.
    Sold AS IS.
