Description

IF YOU LIKE VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE STUFF, PLEASE CONTINUE TO COME BACK OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS, AS I AM CONSTANTLY LISTING NEW ITEMS VIRTUALLY DAILY...
PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEWEST VINTAGE & ANTIQUES COLLECTIBLES STORE -- "DALLAS VALLEY DISCOVERIES", OR
EBAY ID: DALLASVALLEYDISCOVERIES
, FOR MORE GREAT ITEMS...
I AM CONSTANTLY ON A BUYING SPREE (MOSTLY ESTATE AND ANTIQUE AUCTIONS), SO I HAVE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF ITEMS TO LIST AS FAST AS I CAN.  ALL KINDS OF SMALLS AND LARGER ANTIQUES AND VINTAGE ITEMS.
I HAVE SOME MORE GOLD AND SILVER TO LIST NOW.  MOST ARE MARKED AS STERLING OR GOLD AND HAVE TESTED AS SUCH.  ALSO, MOST OF THE SILVER HAS AT LEAST SOME TARNISH OR PATINA ON IT.  I WILL LEAVE THE POLISHING TO THE TASTES OF THE NEW OWNER.  PLEASE NOTE:  EACH OF THESE ARE FROM
NON-SMOKING
SOURCES.
THESE NEXT 11 LOTS ALL HAVE VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE STERLING SILVER THIMBLES, WHICH ARE THE ENTIRETY OF MY SILVER THIMBLE COLLECTION, WHICH I'VE ACQUIRED FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES OVER THE LAST 8 YEARS +/-.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT I COLLECTED THESE BECAUSE I LIKED THE WAY THEY LOOKED AND THE DIFFERENCES IN DESIGNS.  HOWEVER, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO MEASURE THIMBLE SIZES (UNLESS THEY ARE ALREADY MARKED).
ALTHOUGH ALL ARE MARKED FOR STERLING, AND ALL WERE PROBABLY MADE TO BE 'JUST' COLLECTIBLE, SEVERAL SHOW QUITE A BIT OF ACTUAL WEAR (NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FROM TYPICAL USE).
PLEASE NOTE:  THE LAST PHOTO SHOW THE THIMBLES IN LOTS #8 & 9, AS A MEANS OF COMPARISON (BOTH OF WHICH ARE SOUTHWESTERN AMERICANA), BUT THIS IS A LISTING FOR JUST THE ONE THIMBLE THAT'S SHOWN IN THE REST OF THE PHOTOS, ONLY.
THIS IS ONE OF THE TWO SOUTHWESTERN THIMBLES (AND THE ONLY TWO I RECALL EVER FINDING IN PERSON).  IT MEASURES APPROX. 7/8" TALL x 3/4" AND IS STAMPED "STERLING" IN THE INSIDE OF THE RIM.
IT ACTUALLY SHOWS LITTLE (IF ANY) WEAR FROM ACTUAL USE, PLUS IT SHOWS VERY LITTLE WEAR OF ANY KIND.  ALL IN ALL, IT'S IN VERY GOOD (or BETTER) CONDITION, OVERALL
.
THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 4.10
GRAMS.
PLEASE NOTE:  I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM.  I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL.  BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED.  ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.  THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION
