    I came across a small thimble collection of six thimbles. I decided I would start a collection by taking these into my home and learning more about them.

    If you can give me information (company? date? material? value?), I would love to label these so I can pass them down as heirlooms one day. Finding these has made me start shopping around for other vintage pieces - there is a such a variety and so much to learn!

    THESE THIMBLES:
    - have initials on back "RL" (maybe? it is cursive)
    - etched patterns - one a snowflake and one is egyptian like king tut?
    - being glass, they are hard to take pics of

    All six thimbles are up for identification! Thanks in advance.
