Description: | Silver thimble without its crown, which has been removed by careful cutting, probably for conversion into a sewing ring or tailor's thimble. In addition a vertical soldered butt joint has split apart. A pair of parallel engraved lines joined by multiple transverse lines surround the rim. Above these the surface is covered with round indentations, apart from a rectangular reserved area. This contains an illegible two-letter maker's stamp and the owner's initials, rather poorly engraved FS. Immediately before the F an engraved vertical line with horizontal lines at top and base, may be an I. Post-medieval Height 13mm. Internal diameter c.14mm. Weight 4.31g.
