AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tailor's Thimbles (Open): Cylindrical pieces without a top are known as tailor's thimbles. They allow for greater sensitivity and control when pushing the needle with the side of the finger.
Mechanized Production: The regular and uniform pattern of small dots (dimples) indicates that they were manufactured mechanically. This technology became common from the mid-18th century (after 1750). Patina and Wear: The grayish and matte tone suggests that they may be made of carbon steel, a material widely used in sewing tools before the popularization of stainless steel in 1913, although its use continued afterward.
Conclusion: Pieces with this appearance are often classified as vintage (20th century) or from the late 19th century. If there are numerical markings (such as 7 or 10) on the edge or inside, this also reinforces a modern industrial origin for size standardization.
It will be very well packaged and with a tracking number. I hope you like it for your collection, good luck....
