锘? The Thimble has a long history since its
inception Mike Gartner Stars
Jersey , having been a tool for craftsmen and a source of
inspiration for the collector. The most ancient thimble that exists to date is
Roman, apparently found in the ruins of Pompeii and made of Bronze. Some
collectors have found that some primitive thimbles were also made of bone, horn,
ivory and leather and were found everywhere in the world.

During the
fifteenth century, the humble thimble found another dimension for its use,
rather than simply being a tool of the craftsmen, when the Elizabeth-I gave a
thimble which was encrusted with precious stone to one of her ladies-in-waiting.
Since then, the thimbles have evolved in a number of ways and they have gained
new uses, becoming primarily both decorative and collectible, rather than simply
practical.

Through the years, craftsmen who sew have come to recognise
that thimbles can be quite useful objects to ease the difficulty of their work
and during this period collectors have also learned that they are quite sought
after collectors items.

Due to the mechanisation of the most of sewing
works, the practical use of thimbles has declined. However thimbles are still
being used in quilting Kari Lehtonen Stars

work. As the thimble has become largely decorative, the collectors' interest in
modern thimbles has not waned and if anything has increased.

The
advancement in the science and new processes to make more suitable metals allow
more detailed designs for the thimbles. New designs of thimbles are being issued
to commemorate different events and characters like Christmas, football teams
and Disney characters.

Thimble collection has become a popular hobby
around the world. There are many reasons for its popularity but the most
important among them are their reasonable prices and easy availability. There
are two distinct classes of thimble collectors; one who are interested in their
historic value and the others for their decorative value. Collectors' clubs have
sprung up locally & nationally. The internet now connects collectors all
over the world and collectors' societies have their own web pages. Collecting
has also spawned a booming cottage industry in display racks, cabinets and
domes.

The Thimble guild allows you to track down any particular thimble
that you are looking for. You would really find this a wonderful world of
thimbles just waiting to be discovered.
