The humble thimble has a long past dating to 1834 when Nicholas Renchoteen of Amsterdam sent a protective finger cover as a gift.

The piece notes varied designs from finger hats in England to pearl carved and gem encrusted forms, including a lotus-shaped pinched by the Queen of Siam. It ends with a quirky tip about repurposing an old tin for a dust sifter.
