Thx for posting this...I once belonged to TCI, but did not know it still existed. I'm a collector of all sewing smalls, and have more than 750 thimbles-- mostly gold and sterling. I have the Liberty bell, and several of the 'angels'pictured....also 2 of the Simons 'Stitch in Time ' thimbles. Wondering about their future, as I am aging with no relatives. I will be looking at TCI again.
