Description: | Copper alloy thimble. Thimble or sewing ring made from a strip of sheet metal with an overlapping seam - now parted, but probably originally brazed. Vertical rows of five or six hand-punched pits rise up the sides, well separated from each other and presumably executed when the strip was flat, and before its shaping on a former. This object is quite distinct from either the cast thimbles usually ascribed a later medieval date, and the milled examples imported from Nuremburg in the early post-medieval period. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Height:18mm, Diameter: 18.5mm, Thickness (wall): 1mm, Weight: 4.46gms.
