Question
I have a Diamond Anniversary Meissen Thimble, and a Silver Diana Commemorative Thimble with a missprint on it, so it is quite rare I have a dealer offering $300 for both,
Is this a good deal?
Hello Margaret,
Thanks for your query.
To better help with your query, are you able to photograph these two pieces for me and, please give me a detailed condition report as well as the following information:
1.What is misprinted on the Diana Commemorative Thimble. 2.Please also provide me with the hallmark information on these thimble.
Please send photos to me at xtahoeviews@yahoo.com
Thanks.
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
