This is simply the best book available on American silver thimbles. Gay Ann covers all of the known American makers of thimbles and goes into great depth on the major manufacturers.

The book is brand new and never used. It is a hardback book with a dust jacket, and it has 223 pages with an outstanding index. Published in 1989 - First Edition. ISBN Number 1-869812-03-4.  This is a 'Must Have' reference.
