A thimble is a fingertip protector used in sewing. Set of 6 German Thimbles Collected on a trip to Germany over 10 years ago. Although unused, they are aged. They have been carefully stored. See photos for details. Especially among Western women, they are a very popular collection item. They have a long history spanning centuries. They are also said to bring good luck and have been used as gifts since ancient times. Thank you very much.
