Description: | White MetalThimble. Pressed metal thimble with a finely billeted foot ring. An inverted legend (so as to be legible to the wearer) reads: CRAWFORD'S CREAM CRACKERS. Aluminium thimbles were used to market these biscuits and remain collectable items. Though originally a domed thimble covered with closely spaced circular indentations, this example has been nipped or crimped from two sides, perhaps to improve the fit on a small finger. Suggested date: Modern, 1930-1960.Height: 20.9mm, Diameter: 17mm, Thickness (at foot ring): 1mm, Weight: 1.05gms.
