A collection of approximately 50 thimbles, primarily crafted from ceramic or porcelain, with a lesser quantity made of metallic materials such as brass and silver-toned metal. The thimbles display a wide variety of decorative styles, encompassing floral motifs, landscape scenes, character depictions including Mickey Mouse and Snow White, architectural designs, and commemorative text. Visible English inscriptions include “Happy,” “Simple me!”, “Daddies,” “Happy Birthday,” and “New York.” One item is distinctly square-shaped, contrasting with the numerous traditional bell-shaped thimbles. The collection is organized within a red, molded plastic tray.
