NHER 33934 (Find Spot record) - Post medieval thimble

1998. Metal detecting find.
Post medieval silver thimble, made by hammering a single sheet of metal and brazing a seam. Very well made and in excellent condition, with a straight rim decorated with a single groove above and a pair of grooves below. The indentations are cut leaving small reserved circles of metal in a grid pattern. The top is bare with a single central indentation and a border of oblique panels, alternatively ribbed and plain. It dates to around 1600 to around 1650 and as such as quite rare and highly collectable. No maker's mark/hallmark.
Disclaimed as Treasure, September 1998.

This may be the same thimble also recorded as NHER 34596. The descriptions are identical and the grid references are almost the same.
