A complete copper alloy thimble dating to the post medieval period (c.AD 1650-1750). It is conical in shape with a domed top and a series of small circular indentations about the outside.  This is similar in style to some of the Dutch thimbles from this period. From about 1650, Dutch thimbles were made in one piece, and this technology was brought to England when John Lofting, a Dutch immigrant, was granted an English patent for a thimble-making machine in 1693.
