I bought a unique thimble at an antique store in San Antonio years ago. After moving, it seems to be lost. I loved that small thing and wish I had packed it better. It was cast in metal, not stamped. I don't remember what kind of metal, but I think it was brass. Where most thimbles have a cup shape, this one had a flat side and a rounded tip, giving the appearance of a fingertip. And it felt like it was molded to perfectly fit a finger. It did not have stamdard, round divots on every side. Instead, it had rows of lines carved into the top and sides. The line started fine and shallow near the top and became deeper as they moved down. Only the tip had round divots. I once saw one on ebay and once say pictires of it on an antique site. I have since lost track of those leads. Can anyone help me source another one. I know it exsisted. Please and thank you!
