My dad traveled a lot for work when I was a kid. So, we had this thing where wherever he went in the world he would bring me back a thimble. (I had a lot more, but these are the only ones for whatever reason they were in my mother's garage that were kept.) There are no dates on them, but I know that we started the tradition around 1989 and stopped in 1997/98. They are all porcelain except the one from Israel. I was curious if these were even worth listing on eBay?

Not everybody is fond of eBay but they still have more traffic than any other site (Amazon and eBay are comparable but for items like this eBay is probably a better site).
Most thimbles are selling for $5-15 but you may have a rare one so think about checking them out before selling. Be prepared to wait for a sale as these may not sell very quickly.

You would have to research each thimble individually if you really wish to know very much about them. This can be a long and tedious process but sometimes rewarding.
Since you have some International thimbles you might want to ask some questions before listing them for sale.
Here are a couple of sites to check out and maybe email them with questions.

There are a lot of these for sale on Etsy, and Ebay ranging from $5 to $25. Some of them for sale as single piece. They are not rare ones nor antique. You could do auction/bid starting at $20.
Thank you so much for the advice girl I really appreciate it!!!!!
If you wanted an alternative to dismal ebay, you could try to contact thimble collector associations. They might know who wants these, what they are valued, etc.
