Description: | Incomplete, corroded and flattened copper alloy thimble of probable Post Medieval date (AD 1500 - AD 1800). Length 23mm, maximum width at rim 27mm and 1.0mm thick.Weight 3.18g.The rim is un-thickened and undecorated and the thin walled sides taper upward towards the crown which is broken and missing. The break is old. The lower half of the surviving part consists of 4-5 raised ribs in low relief and the upper half has a series of regularly spaced oblique lines of small circular indentations. The indentations are identical and appear to have been created by knurling, perhaps whilst the thimble was mounted in a lathe. The sides of the thimble are flattened so that the interior surfaces make contact. Small areas of bronze disease present.
