Description: | A complete machine drawn silver thimble of Post Medieval to Modern dating (19th to 20th Centuries AD).The thimble consists of a tall conical shape, with a rounded top. Circular indentations (pits) cover the top two thirds of the thimble and have been arranged in neat horizontal lines. Separating the pits from the decorative border is a horiztonal groove, located just below the halfway point of the thimble. The decorative panel consists of an inscribed foliate scroll like design. The base of the thimble has been rolled over. No hallmarks are visible.The thimble measures 24.2 mm in length, 20.4 mm in diameter and the walls are 1.3 mm thick. It weighs 4.8 grams.The thimble is mid to dark grey colour, with an even surface patina. Machine drawn thimbles are less than 300 years old and therefore do not come over the requirements of the 1996 Treasure Act and is therefore not considered to be Treasure. Several similar modern thimbles have been recorded on the PAS database including: WMID-34EFE4, WMID-E4D322, BERK-902AD5, NARC-4554C0, SUSS-D4CC00 and YORYM-800494.
