Description: | Cast copper alloy domed sewing thimble. The indentations are hand-punched, circular and are arranged in a spiral around the wall of the thimble to the outer edges of the domed top, leaving the crown bare. Some of the indentations are so deep as to have pierced completely the thimble wall. The rim of the thimble is bare and separated from the indented area by an incised girth line. There are several vertical tears at the base of the thimble. Similar to examples described in Holmes, Edwin F, 1991, "Sewing Thimbles", p1 - 3.
