Hello,

We were recently donated an item that I think may be a thimble case.  It 
is an egg-shaped container that unscrews.  Inside was a small brass 
boat, but I don't know that it was original to the piece.  Is anyone 
familiar with thimble cases?  If so, could I email you a picture to see 
if you can identify the piece.  Feel free to contact me off list.

Thank you,
Nan
