About MeThis thimble was used by Isabella Park (1921 to 2018). She was a milliner who lived and worked in Aberdeen, working for Hilda Le Fevre for over 40 years.The thimble must have been amongst one of her favourites. It's been used so often that it's now oval in shape, rather than round. The thimble is marked size 8.
Mrs Isabella Park
