Google description: Acorn-shaped wooden thimble cases, often holding a separate wooden or silver thimble, were popular during the Victorian era, specifically from the mid to late 19th century. These were made as sewing accessories and sometimes given as gifts. While wooden thimbles themselves have a longer history, the acorn-shaped cases are a distinctive style from that period
