I ordered multiple coins (6) from this seller. The coins were perfect and I will definitely try to buy from again in the future. The only negative I have is the shipping costs. All items were in the same box yet only the first two were discounted on the shipping. $33 for USPS seems extreme. Otherwise, the packaging was great, the coins were perfect and I appreciated the communication before purchase. Overall a positive for this seller!

This book provides color photographs of Gold, Silver, Brass, Ivory, Pewter, China, Advertising thimbles. Although interesting, the author does not provide much information about the thimbles (i.e. for sterling thimbles, she will tell you if a thimble is sterling and who made it if it has a maker's mark). It does not however, include any information on when the thimble was made, nor is it in any order other (i.e. by maker) than the material the thimble was made of. If you are looking for a particular gold thimble, it is a matter of trial and error going picture-by-picture looking for one that matches yours. For the most part the photographs are of good quality. It is an interesting book to review and although not as informative as I would like, it makes a good reference source for thimble ...

Book was damaged!
Review stated this book appeared to be untouched and in perfect condition with no notes or marks in the margins. So what about the gooey yellow stuff that was dumped on the lower right corner of the book that made every single page stick together? No writing is true but far from unmarked and in perfect condition. Didn’t happen in shipping because it was in a tightly sealed plastic shipping envelope. The book was inexpensive so proof you get what you pay for...at least with this company! Very disappointed.Review stated this book appeared to be untouched and in perfect condition with no notes or marks in the margins.

Antique & Collectible Thimbles, Averil Mathis (1986)
This book, by the late Averil Mathis, was the first to have large, full-color, photographs of a wide variety of thimbles. Thimble pictures are in categories by the material of which they are made, and maker's marks are attributed to their maker. It does not provide in depth information about the thimbles or their makers. The only major error in the book is the attribution of the star mark on silver thimble to Brogan. Although that company did use a star mark, they are not know to have made thimbles. In addition, all the thimbles with that mark have been traced back to Waite Thresher, Providence, RI, during the years 1860-1912. After that the W-T mark was a star with a thimble inside it, that was used until they sold their dies to Simons Brox. of Philadelphia in 1927. With the advent of ...

With the advent of eBay, nearly all price guides were rendered useless, but it does provide some help comparing thimble values. This book is out of print. Kit

My main assistant in my hobby !!!
I am a collector of thimbles and so I had to have the book. In Russia there is very difficult to find literature about thimbles. I bought this book on Ebay, not even expecting that kind of book. And now I have it. I somewhat regret that I bought it. This book became my chief assistant in my hobby. The book is very well designed, lots of useful information for the novice and the experienced collector. The book can be a good gift for a friend Collector thimbles. Your friends collectors I recommended to buy this book.I am a collector of thimbles and so I had to have the book. In Russia there is very difficult to find literature about thimbles.
