Title
1149 Post Medieval thimble.jpg
Description
English: Cast copper alloy thimble length 22mm, thickness 2mm. This example has been squashed slightly resulting in a 24mm by 22mm aperture. The object is very worn and heavily corroded. There are elongated vertical pits that being in the centre of the crown and concentrically expand down covering the crown and the whole of the body. These pits are likely to have been applied mechanically as this method was in use by the 16th century (Cuddeford 1992 page 48).

There is a second thimble inside the first, this one appears to have a set of pit but is of the same date, both are 1mm thick. Artefacts such as these dates to the 15th-16th centuries.
