Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Somebody named A.W. stitched a lot of love with this one.
This antique sterling silver thimble has a gold band wrapped around its lower half, decorated with raised scrolls and little forget-me-not style flowers on a stippled background, set between beaded borders. A blank cartouche on the front is engraved in script with the initials "AW." The upper half has the classic honeycomb dimpling, rising to a dome of tight concentric rings. It's marked STERLING inside the top along with a maker's mark. Gold band sterling thimbles like this were popular American gifts from about 1900 through the 1920s, often engraved for a bride, a graduate or a favorite seamstress.

Condition
Good antique condition. The silver has a soft gray patina and the gold band shows wear and a few dark spots near the rim, which you can see in the photos. No dents or splits that we can see. It's still ready to sew with or to set on a shelf with a collection.
Styling props in photos are not included. Only one available. When it's gone, it's gone.
