Offered is a very nice collection of early Thimbles. About half are marked Sterling. The other half although not marked I believe some if not many of these are Sterling as well. They are all different sizes. Some have more design to them then others including one with Cherubs others with Floral designs, etc., etc. The one of particular interest to me has gold tone to the lower half and is possibly gold but I'm just not 100% certain. Overall condition of these is very good. Some do have a monogram or incised name and a couple I do notice pin prick holes at the top. If additional photos are needed please let me know. Thimbles would make a fine addition to anyone starting a collection or adding to their existing collection.
