At one point the Thimblelady was available as a plastic version for less than $20. If she still sells them, you could try that before you invest in the stainless steel version.

Lol, I was just about to reply that of the two, I prefer the Thimblelady one... The fit is more forgiving. So as your fingers swell (when it's hot and humid, as it is here during our summers), or when other things cause your fingers to plump up, it still fits well. I think on her website, she says that up to two sizes can be fit in one thimble.
Watch e-bay - you never know. They've had them on there every now and again.
