Description: | Copper alloy Thimble. Flat topped thimble, probably beaten over a former, with a right hand spiral of bar-shaped pits or indentations above a plain zone with a single central circumferentially incised line at base. Similar pits form two concentric rings on the top, leading to an untidily indented centre, possibly continuing the spiral arrangement observed on the wall. A maker's mark, apparently a plain cross in relief in a circle, appears at the beginning of the spiral. Robustly cleaned by the finder. Possibly a Nuremburg product. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1550-1650.Diameter: 20.4mm, Height: 20.7mm, Thickness (wall): 0.6mm, Weight: 3.39gms.
