Description: | Incomplete two-piece sheet silver thimble, missing its top which would have been soldered on. The thimble is stamped with a heart-shaped cartouche, with an eagle either side of it, and engraved with the owner??s initials ??S D??. There is also a smaller cartouche above the heart, probably for the maker??s mark. The thimble is covered in circular indentations and has a ropework band around the base.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 153, No.1037, which is dated to c.1670-1730.
Bailey (DF2) illustrates similar examples on page 14, Nos.25-29, which are dated to c.1675-1750. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
