Origin of the Thimble and Its Odd History
The humble thimble has a long past dating to 1834 when Nicholas Renchoteen of Amsterdam sent a protective finger cover as a gift. Interest spread, prices dropped with mass production, and luxury versions from China and Siam appeared. 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.
