Description: | Post Medieval sewing ring; cast copper alloy ring with indentations for use as a thimble. This ring is probably of later 17th or 18th century date. The indentations are circular and very regular, indicating that they are probably machine-drilled. The indentations run up the sewing ring in a spiral pattern. Both the lower and upper edges of the sewing ring are rather rough, suggesting that it may have been cut down from a larger thimble.Diameter 21.7mm, height 14.9mm, thickness 1.4mm, weight 5.90gRef: See the Finds Research Group datasheet 9 by Holmes for information about thimbles and sewing rings.
