Finally got to hunt the property of the woman I met the other day. I had quite a good day, pulling a pair of silver dimes and a beautiful antique sterling thimble. The beat merc is a 1916S (missed it by that much, tho if it were a D, I’d feel snakebit that it was so abused).
I offered the thimble to the owner, but she could not have cared less about it. This becomes another one of my favorite silver relics.
I just love this thimble. Notice the “M” monogram? Besides that it is very pretty. I actually use to use a thimble when I did cross stitch or hand sewing. I can’t believe the owner did not want it!
