Description: | A cast copper alloy early modern thimble. The thimble is circular in shape and has a domed profile with a rounded top. The base of the thimble has a thickened rim. The surface indentations are circular on the sides of the thimble and square on the top, the regularity of the indentations indicates that they have been machine manufactured. The reverse shows evidence of turning. The thimble is complete. There is very little surface wear on the object. The surface is light greenish-grey in colour. The thimble dates to 1700-1900. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Mason, Richard | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
