Description: | Silver thimble, circular indentations over the body and top, two birds framing a cartouche designed for owner's initials. Worn and squashed.
The best comparison is a thimble dating to the early 18th C from the collection of Edwin Holmes (Sotheby's South Kensington, London 31 May 1995, lot 61).
It is probable that this thimble post-dates 1706 and it and therefore it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Barton, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
