Ltd Edition 14 Kt Gold Statue of Liberty Thimble American * Dated 1986 This rare thimble is solid 14 Kt gold and was made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. The upper half of the statue is modeled on one side with the torch raised above the thimble and set with a faceted ruby. The size isn't marked but it's about an American size 8 (15 mm diameter opening). The band is marked 14K and also 1886 - 3/100 - 1986. It is #3 in an edition of 100. The condition ...is mint with no damage or wear and I'm sure it's never been used as a thimble. It came in a soft flannel pouch and weighs 12.3 grams. This thimble in silver is shown on p. 195 (plate 8) of Gay Ann Rogers' book American Silver Thimbles. The silver version had an edition of 1000. She says it was made by Hagop (James) Demirjian and it's marked HD under the rim.
