THIMBLE OF FREEDOM - RARE 1990 Berlin Wall Thimble“

Item Description

A Remarkable Piece of 20th-Century Cold War History

For your consideration is "The Freedom Thimble" (Model Ref: TL901), an incredibly unique historical commemorative issued just months after the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Unlike traditional porcelain or silver collectibles, this thimble is meticulously hand-carved from an authentic piece of aggregate from the Berlin Wall following its historic breach in November 1989. Each thimble features a completely unique, natural geological pattern born from the concrete and stone that once divided East and West Germany.

Commissioned by Scotland Direct and the Thimble Collectors' Guild, this piece was handcrafted by Pinpoint in Milton Keynes, UK. It has been diamond-ground and stone-polished to a beautiful, smooth finish while preserving the distinct texture of the historic barrier.

Investment Grade: Complete Original Provenance

What sets this specific piece apart for serious digitabulists and military history collectors is the inclusion of its complete, original paperwork trail. It comes accompanied by:

1. The Original Certificate of Authenticity (showing the original £18.95 issue price).
2. The Original Certificate of Manufacture Hand-signed by D.R. Smith and explicitly dated 6 March 1990 (just four months after the wall came down!).
