LOVELY DORCAS STERLING SILVER  THIMBLE - BY CHARLES HORNER

     In 1885, Charles Horner patented a revolutionary new silver thimble with a steel core - what was to become the Dorcas thimble. This new premium silver thimble could be ornately decorated, so it would serve as an engagement gift, but it could also be safely used.

I gave it a light cleaning.

It is in very good condition, in the round and no holes.  There is some discoloration inside at the top.

Please examine my photos as they are a huge part of my descriptions.
