Nineteenth century thimble |
||
| Description |
English: A silver thimble dating from the nineteenth century. The thimble is 24mm long and has an 18mm diameter at the base. It is typical of thimbles made by Charles Horner of Yorkshire. It has a domed top which, along with the upper half of the walls, is decorated with flower motifs. The lower part of the walls have a waffle pattern and then a plain band on which are the hall marks and makers marks. This object was recorded from a photograph and details kindly provided by the finders. The marks are not clear in the photograph. There is an almost identical thimble on page 60 of “The Collector’s Guide to Thimbles” by B McConnell (1996). |
