The shoe is in very good condition, and has teeny nail decoration all around that is missing a couple of nails on the point toe of the shoe as shown.  The holder measures 3 1/4".  The sterling thimble has Charles Horner hallmark, and has some tiny holes on the top of the thimble, and also some holes around the sides as shown.  Inside the thimble is a reddish material that needs to be properly polished which I will leave to you.  Rare find!  Please look closely at my photos for details.  Item 1023 PP
