Description
sweet little pinit is unmarked as far as i can tell though it was given as a sterling silver thimble to my mother upon finishing her sewing curriculum as a child in spain about 65 years ago. it has a hand-incised decoration around the base. mom believes it was already quite old when it was given to her. it has definitely been used and lovingly shows it. this vintage, possibly anique, thimble was lovingly used by mom for a long .
has a small hole (and other «holes in the making») on the top where metal finally gave to the pressure of years of pins after pins, needles after needles. (see last image.)
silver has a very warm patina. for someone who collects sewing notions, i think this will have special meaning since it was so used for the craft. weighs 4.7 grams (0.165787 oz). was originally given to her in spain. It is 5/8" tall; 1/2" wide at narrowest (top); and 3/4" wide at widest (bottom).

shipping costs have really increased—this is calculated into the buy-it-now price.
i am not able to sell individual items from items i have listed as a group. i just don't have the stamina to create new listings for those. i apologize for that. i haven't initially individually listed items because i don't have enough listing slots to so.
trying to downsize some, though extremely melancholically.
shipping time: i otherwise work more than full time and my health isn't great, so kindly excuse the longer handling time. if i am able to ship sooner, i absolutely will do that
. i appreciate you taking the time to view my listing.
