Description: | A machine made copper-alloy thimble, dating from the Post Medieval period, about AD 1650 - 1850. The thimble has a rounded top with square indentations, creating a cross-hatch or waffle pattern. The indentations (pits) on the body are small, round and very regular. The rim is slightly thickened at 1.45mm thick and the internal diameter at the base is 16.11mm. The thimble is a grey green to light brown colour. The thimble is in good condition but has been slightly dented on one side at the base. A similar thimble can be seen on the PAS database: SUSS-27AB44. Compare also SUSS-967EF1.
