Sailmaker’s Palm Thimble

A hand-stitched leather sailmaker’s palm thimble, consisting of a thick, curved leather strap fitted with a concave metal insert designed to push heavy needles through canvas or sailcloth. The strap is adjustable with a small buckle and leather tie, allowing it to be worn around the base of the hand for leverage during sewing. The surface shows signs of use, including wear to the leather and minor discoloration.
