There was a note with it and this is what Gwyn's note said.
"My grandfather made a few of these for the women folk in his life. Somehow I ended up with 2 of them. This one belonged to one of the ex-wives. I finished both of them and sent this one to you. Now there are 2 of a kind. Mine sits in the living room by my chair. The elephant thimble is quite old. Probably came from some of my Dutch South African relatives. I has been used by many through the years. I loved it and wanted to share it with you"
Gwyn I feel so special!!
As you can see Ms. Dempsey has approved of it.
Thank you so much!! crafty_linda_b

I actually found a pattern to make this little chair with pin cushion. It is in a book called "Pass It On: How to make your own family keepsakes, by Marguerite Ashworth Brunner copyright 1979 its on page83,84,85,86.
