Google on history of celluloid thimbles: Celluloid thimbles, while not the earliest type, represent a significant development in thimble history, particularly in the 20th century, as they were one of the first mass-produced, affordable, and decorative alternatives to metal thimbles. The Halex company, known for producing plastic goods, was not historically a major thimble manufacturer. While they were involved in the production of various household items, including those made with plastic parts, thimbles were not a core part of their product line. Thimbles have a rich history, dating back to antiquity, with various materials and manufacturing techniques used throughout history.
