Description: | Flattened fragment of the side of a pressed sheet copper alloy one-piece thimble with diagonal rows of circular indentations bordered by a plain band and then three concentric parallel rows of circular indentations beneath, the central row having the same size indentations as those above, and the other two rows either side having much smaller indentations. Below these indentations is a plain band about 6 mm in height, although the base of the thimble is missing, where the letters of phrases, owners or manufacturers could be inscribed.Read (1988) illustrates a similar example with bands underneath the main section of indentations on page 192, No.1363, which is dated from the 19th century.
