      Hi, lovely Gimbels thimbles. I actually used to collect these, we're talking pre-internet days, they had mail order catalogs. There were all sorts of thimbles, commemorative, animal, many "toppers". I had a cute little dark green thimble shelf I bought from them to display your thimbles. Nice post

      Cool thanks so much..I would love to collect them.. limited space so this would be great are their catalogs or sales still available..

      I looked around and it's possible the co that made them was Gimbel & Sons of Boothbay Harbor ME, they have a Facebook page. But I see you can still get their thimbles on ebay & etsy, they had a really cute line
