Dorcas silver & steel thimble

• Brand: Dorcas
• Description: "  In 1885 Charles Horner patented a revolutionary new silver thimble with a steel core - what was to become the Dorcas thimble. This new premium silver thimble could be ornately decorated so would serve as an engagement gift, but could also be safely used.
