Copper alloy thimble fragment. A small pressed metal thimble, perhaps originally conical though now torn and topless. A prominent foot ring limits a plain zone extending nearly half way up the wall, and interrupted by a circumferential band of flat stamped panels. The upper wall was occupied by finely machine stamped circular pits which appear as if set in horizontal rows. Flattened. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1850-1900.
