Description: | A machine made copper-alloy thimble, dating from the Post Medieval or Modern period, c. 1650-1850 AD. The thimble has a rounded top with square indentations, creating a cross-hatch or waffle pattern. The indentations on the body are small, round and very regular apart from a horizontal line of smaller indentations on the sides just before the top. It is pale green to brown in colour. The thimble is in good condition but has been slightly flattened leaving two breaks down the body near the base. The thimble measures 16.71mm in height and 21.43mm in width at the bottom (flattened). The top measures 12.5mm in diameter and it weighs 3.41g. A similar thimble can be seen on the PAS database: SUSS-27AB44.
