Description: | Post medieval or modern two piece copper alloy thimble. The thimble is tall with a low rounded top. It is 19.4mm tall, 15.3mm in diameter at the base and weighs 2.1 grams. The base is unthickened, above the base is a band of circluar indentations, a 3.0mm wide undecorated band, another band of circular indentations then a regular series of rows of circular indentations. The top has concentric circles of round indentations. The joints between the top and sides and where the sheet has been overlapped to create the sides are visible inside the thimble. Such two piece thimbles are mass produced from the end of the 17th century although the flimsiness of this example suggests a 19th century date.
