Antique
Brass Egg Thimble Case w/ Egyptian Symbols
Austrian
* Circa 1890
This petite
brass
thimble case is egg shaped and is unusual in the design it's embossed
with. They usually have floral designs but this one is covered with
Egyptian symbols. It is
fitted inside with the original velvet and holds
a
brass thimble. The
thimble is in great
condition with no holes or damage. It is
about an American size 7 (14.5 mm diameter opening).
The
case is also in
excellent
condition with no damage. It has a strong
hinge and
measures almost 1 1/2" long x 1" wide.
These
were
widely sold in England but I have seen evidence that they were made in
Austria & Germany for export. One in this style isshown
on p. 100 of Gay Ann Rogers' book The
Illustrated History of Needlework Tools.
I stand behind
everything that I offer and guarantee that it is exactly as
presented.
