Description: | A flattened silver thimble. Either the top is missing, or it never had one making it a sewing ring. The thimble is broken into two pieces. It has worn dimples on the sides; these are lozenge shaped pits. There is a band of ropework at the rim with a narrow plain area above and below. There is also a rectangle surrounded by ropework. Inside is inscribed: "G*H". Before the letter G but obscured by the break is another mark, possibly the makers mark. It perhaps reads: "RB" or "MB" in an oval cartouche. The reverse is plain and there is no hallmark.
