Description: | Part of a damaged (flattened) silver thimble dating from the nineteenth century, 1800-1900. It consists of the rolled rim and part of the base; the indentations and the upper part of the body and crown are all missing. The rim is not smooth but is decorated with series of linked lozenge shaped facets. The remaining portion of the base is decorated with a floral pattern of tendrils and leaves, all constructed of small engraved dots and lines. This is separated from the rim by a broad, plain groove. There are no hallmarks visible. In its current condition the thimble is 25mm long, 12.1mm wide and 6.2mm thick. It weighs 1.95gm.The characteristics of this thimble indicate that it is less than 300 years old and it has therefore not been considered as treasure.
