If you are the high bidder on more then one of my auctions please wait until I e-mail you an invoice so you can save on shipping. This is a 1890's Sterling Silver Ketcham McDougall Damask Flowers Thimble. In the apex (inside top) is the trademark for Ketcham & McDougall. It is a large K with a small m and d on the sides. Below this it is stamped STERLING. Around the band is the design of Damask Flowers. Ketcham & McDougall calls this thimble 'Damask Flowers' because the background was supposed to resemble the ornamentation of daascened steel produced in Damascus from the Middle Ages. There is a space that looks like a banner for engraving. To the side is the size 9. At the bottom is a beaded rim. There are no holes and it is in round. The thimble is 13/16" tall, and the diameter of the opening is 9/16". I have insurance for U.S.A. bidders for .99 cents for $100, and for the international bidders it is $1.25 for $100.00.The only thing I ask of the international bidders is that they please speak English and can communicate with me. I only speak English. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not including in the item price or shipping charges. It is the international bidders responsibility.
