This black cat thimble is part of a collection recently purchased at an estate sale.
It is white enamel, measures 3/4 inch tall and is made of metal. The top is honeycomb design (lots of little dots). Inside has a label that states “Made in Austria.
As for the age, I’ve seem others like this one but with different portraits that state them to be 1950s to 1960s.
There are 2 silhouetted portraits. On the front is an animal in a tree. Since I wasn’t positive what the animal is, I put the image into Google Images and it came back as a black cat. So, I’m going with what they say. On the back is a tree and I’m guessing it’s a fir tree.
Its in excellent condition with no cracking and no chips in the paint.
Buyer to pay USPS First Class Package Mail charges of $5.95. Shipping is from Arizona.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their “Delivering for America” plan in which they hope to become profitable. It’s a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we’ve got years to go with multiple shipping price increases each year. I haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. 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.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
