This vintage thimble is made from Mexico silver with the bottom rim circled in turquoise chips. I purchased it at an estate sale where the seller stated it was hand made by her mother. She said her mother's family would hand make these small souvenirs and sell them to tourists at a village roadside stand. She said her mother was a young girl at the time so she estimates that would have been in the late 1940s to early 1950s period. Unfortunately, I neglected to ask if the village was in the states, or in Mexico.
The thimble is in great condition. There are no missing turquoise chips, and there are no dents or cracks.
Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail parcel. Buyer to pay $4.99 delivery charges.
SHIPPING COST INFO:
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
Also, every January the postal service increases shipping charges. This year, many price increases were a bit steep with some package categories adding as much as a dollar on to an already high shipping charge. I try to absorb some of the new charges but that's getting harder with each increase.
International shipping charges also took a tremendous leap. International shipping will now depend on the country. Buyer must contact seller for international shipping charges before making a purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
