Who this thimble collection log is for

This log is for thimble collectors who treasure porcelain, silver, pewter and souvenir thimbles from around the world. It suits sewists, travelers and collectors continuing a family collection. Thimbles are tiny and easy to lose track of, so recording each one with its origin and material keeps your collection safe and organized. It also suits collectors who swap thimbles with friends abroad, since trades and sources are easy to record. Many thimbles carry hallmarks, makers' names or dates, and noting these details adds to their history and value.

How to use your thimble collection log

Set collection goals. Record each thimble with design, material and origin. Use detail cards for antique or valuable pieces. Keep a want list. Log purchases, sales and trades. Update value, plan storage and arrange displays. Number each thimble and match the number to its display shelf or case. Photograph special pieces, dust gently with a soft brush and update the inventory whenever you add a new thimble from travels or trades.
