A collection of souvenir thimbles predominantly crafted from fine bone china and porcelain. The thimbles feature a variety of decorative themes including British landmarks and destinations such as Lincoln Cathedral, Tower Bridge, and Skegness, alongside floral motifs and wildlife. Many examples are finished with transfer-printed designs and gilt-rimmed accents. The collection is presented in five wooden display cases, comprising three wall-mountable units with arched tops and two smaller rectangular tabletop racks. Also included are several individually cased thimbles in clear plastic containers and a single blue presentation box. While some examples are in the style of those produced by the Franklin Mint, the majority are regional souvenir items.
