There was a lot of moping about on the Cutter and Tailor's forum about not finding good thimbles. I managed to buy on ebay what I consider to be a magnificent thimble. It's very old, and is steel on the outside and silver on the inside with deep small pocks. It doesn't feel like a rolled sheet metal piece. It feels like a goldsmith sculptured it. It is very heavy for the size. The silver lining is not plated on -- it's a lot of silver rolled on the steel sheath.
