I am offering this interesting antique gold thimble that came in an old collection of thimbles that I purchased years ago. This one always intrigued me because it was so unusual. Unfortunately, it is in "as is" condition, but it looks quite old to me and it may be a rarity. It is multi-colored gold and has a hand punched pewter top. The impressions in the top are irregular, indicating to me that it was handmade. The gold work looks hand done, too. T are incised flowers and applied pink flowers with applied green leaves. I can not find any hallmarks and I have no idea as to the age or origin. It is bent and worn, and t is a tiny hole in the seam. I'm sure this thimble is "solid gold", not gold plated, but I do not know the carat. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks for your interest.
