I was usually the Battleship cus what American kid didn't like American War machines back then ..... !!!!


and the only reason picked the thimble cus it was easy to move around

moving the battleship around the board with all its point smokestacks and towers was a bitch

Battleship? What sick version of Monopoly were you playing?

I always had the garage sale edition of Monopoly, so of course some of the tokens were missing. Due to the missing pieces, I was always the scottie dog. But heck, it was only 25¢.

Who uses a thimble while sewing anyways? Or sews for that matter!

Tailors, quilt makers, seamstress, arts and crafts people, moms who have to save money. Sewing is a fine art. Don't be knocking it cause you can't appreciate the skill.

The monopoly we have has a money bag, so I usually take the money bag and the thimble, put the money bag on the thimble and call it a grandma.

No idea why but it always amuses me.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a fine art but those people and professions are far and few. They will die off soon just like the thimble token in monopoly.

It is absolutely a fine art! (all the fine detailing, the intricacies and the sheer amount of time involved in making something which, in addition to being visually pleasing, also needs to drape over the body in just the right way) Or at least it can be, anyway. Just look at the dresses in Guillermo del Toro's movies! Seamstresses have been woefully underappreciated throughout history. It'll never die off, because seamstresses and tailors will always be in demand. (Especially in film and theater) It's merely not a widespread/popular skill or pastime in America and certain places. But I don't think it's as uncommon as you think, especially in rural areas. And then there's an entire sea of Etsy seamstresses who do historical reproductions and the like.
