About this product

Product Information

To many people a thimble may seem to be simply a mundane and commonplace object with unromantic shape and associations, even if the work with which it assists can frequently be exquisite and imaginative. This book will open a door to the charm of the humble thimble in all its variety, from the simple workaday type to the rarer and more exquisite examples that gave scope for artists and craftsmen, and indeed still do. It will give those new to a fascinating collecting field an introduction to the possibilities that exist, including the parallel subject of thimble cases. The more interesting old thimbles are less plentiful than they once were but are still worth searching for in antique shops and antique fairs, while those currently being made and on sale in good gift shops can make a worthy addition to any comprehensive collection.

  • Ok but not great.

    Bought this as I am a new thimble collector and this was a reasonable price. Overall very interesting giving the history of thimbles and cases, lots of great pictures some colour but mostly black and white. Was disappointed as although collectable thimbles were shown no values were given, and would like to know if I'm making the right choices and not paying over the odds. Although the book does say buy what you like, I would like to know I'm not paying too much. To sum this book up interesting but not great, but for the price ok and worth a look.
