I would have it appraised by a reputable antiques dealer....but this may help some w/ determining a price:
These are priced around $50-$65:

You would need to tell us who manufactured it and what it is made up.

There are many vintage sewing cases / kits on sale in different shapes, for example bullet shaped www.worthpoint.com/.../vintage-engraved-bullet-shaped-needle..., ancientpoint.com/.../109734-antique_chatelaine_gold_fill_sewing_kit_thimble_thread_needles_chatelaine... and other shapes www.worthpoint.com/.../antique-brass-needle-case-thimble..., www.etsy.com/.../vintageui-107ustria-or-sewing-case...

They were made around the end of the 1890s-1930s.

But mostly they have a loop on one side to attach to the chain, like here nammu.com/.../chatelaine.jpg. Therefore, they are sometimes called Chatelaine or Pendant Needle Case www.worthpoint.com/.../chatelaine-sewing-kit-needle-thimble...

The price is approximately $ 29-75 www.etsy.com/.../994565130,

Yours thimble looks like this German Art Nouveau Mistletoe Sewing Companion, Gabler Bros. Silver Thimble, made around 1900 www.worthpoint.com/.../german-art-nouveau-mistletoe-sewing.... The case is lined with a plush fabric and contains a thimble and a combined needle case with triple thread holder.
