Silver Post Medieval (c. 1800-1900) thimble. The outer face of this thimble has machine-made horizontal lines of circular indentations. The apex is decorated with a series of concentric circles comprised of small square indentations, radiating from a central raised pellet. Twenty one horizontal rows of hexagonal indentations cover the upper two thirds of the thimble to form a honeycomb pattern. The size of the indentations becomes gradually larger towards the base, and the pattern finishes with a circumferential groove. The length is 27mm, width 22mm and the weight 4.22g.

A silver thimble, dating from to 1750 - 1900AD. The thimble is flattened probably by a post-depositional event and would have probably originally been domed with slightly flared sides and a rounded top and has the original owners name "Jane Scorefill" engraved around the bottom.
The thimble appears to have been drilled although it could be cast, it is often difficult to distinguish between cast and hammered thimbles. A series of closely and unevenly set sub-circular dents cover the sides. The drilled pits begin at the top and continue in a continuous spiral to the base in a regular …
