The Story of the
Thimble: An Illustrated Guide for Collectors
By Bridget McConnel
The world's foremost authority on the history of
thimbles tells all, outlining the little tool's long history, from
ancient Egypt to today. The thimbles' history is interwoven with that
of women, giving glimpses of a private, domestic world that history
books often overlook. Meet the poor little Victorian seamstresses with
their everyday brass thimbles and the tiny children's thimbles worn by
early straw workers. Glance at gold and gem-set thimbles worn by the
courtesans of Paris and, on the other hand, learn why the thimble was
the perfect romantic gift a proper gentleman could give to a lady.
Romance aside, this book supplies practical tips on cataloging,
maintenance, and display, along with price guides and a list of
thimble collectors' organizations throughout the world. More than two
thousand thimbles are illustrated in full color, some of which have
never been seen before.
Bridget McConnel's fascination for sewing tools and accessories of all
types led her, with her mother, to start the Thimble Society in 1981
and to open a shop in Grays Antique Market in London, England. She
wrote The Collectors Guide to Thimbles, published in London, 1990.
