Thimbles from karel
Thimbles not so common finds as the coins on my playground but always welcomed. Apart from their more than hazy history.
Most of them I found on fields and that on the pix No.1 I esteem as the oldest. On the thimble No.2 body is inscription GOTT MIT DIR __________________

Great ..... tools of a bygone era.... although I am old enough to remember them being used, nowadays, no one seems to sew anymore, at least not by hand. HH RickO

Karel,
congrats to your finds. The thimble with the inscription Gott mit Dir" is also german origin and means "God with you". I guess the oldest one (Pic with Nr 1 on the left corner) is post-medieval ? __________________
