Description: | White Metal Thimble. Tall conical thimble with domed top. A broad everted foot ring has a plain zone above it with a central circumferential ridge. Above this, the wall bears closely spaced machine stamped hexagonal pits up to the top, where smaller more rounded versions of the same form are arranged in concentric circles around a larger central pit. The finder kindly suggests this to be silver, but it is both light in weight and un-hallmarked. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1875-1900.Diameter (foot ring): 16.2mm, Height: 21.5mm, Thickness (measured at edge of foot ring): 1.2mm, Weight: 2.75gms.
