    Hi all, this is a closer look at the acorn thimble that I posted before. The top unscrews and there is the thimble. I love this thing! Thanks for looking, Julie

      Wonderful! What is it made of?
    2. pops52 pops52, 9 years ago
      This is so neat, love it!
    3. Jewels Jewels, 9 years ago
      Thank you pops and Elisabethan! I believe it is made from celluloid. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong =)

      Unusual thimble, it could be corozo, an exotic nut!
      A close examination is necessary to confirm :-)

      Or tagua nut, Google for tagua acorn.

      Oh yes, thank you Kyra, you might be right! I searched the web and saw some examples similar to mine carved out of nut! Thank you so much!
