Antique Carved Black Forest Bear Thimble Holder Switzerland * Circa 1890s This handsome
antique bear is sitting up and holding a
thimble in his paws. The bear

and is German with the Gabler star on top.
It's
about an American size 8 (15 mm diameter opening) and
has no holes, dents or other damage. The

detail all around. It's
