Adorable Sterling Silver Number 10 Vintage Thimble with Engraved Floral Design

Adorable Sterling Silver Number 10 Vintage Thimble with Engraved Floral Design-
This thimble has an adorable design running around the base, it looks like bees, a bird and a flower at the end. For as long as people have been sewing they have been using some sort of object to protect their hands from injury – from needle puncture and the friction of repetitive movement. With examples found in all parts of the world, the materials and designs of these objects vary, changing based on the needs and preferences of the maker. The first widely produced thimble was created around 1695 in England, by a Dutch metalworker named John Lofting. The production of metal thimbles expanded in the early 18th century, with the use of waterpower to aid in machine and factory manufacturing.
