Found an engraved silver thimble

[dieharddigger]

These are my meager finds for today. Also found a bunch of clad,but no old coins. I thought the engraved silver thimble was kinda cool. Bent up a little though.A junk ring,and the whatzit could have been a lighter? Says hazel bishop on the base.

Wow, nice thimble. By the markings I'd say it's Sterling Silver. I found one that had markings on it one time. The home site I was hunting had the peoples name on the thimble. I gave it back to the owner, who said it would have been his great grand mothers thimble.

The thimble is beautiful...awesome find. The case saying "Hazel Bishop" is a lipstick case...a little history about HB http://c250.columbia.edu/c250_celebrates/remarkable_columbians/hazel_bishop.html

Thimbles that are engraved like that are amazing, such a small personal item like that held such importance in those days.

I have found probably 10 to 15 thimbles in the last year, all of them crushed almost flat and all copper, some with silver paint. Usually advertising thimbles. That is a family thimble, in fantastic condition and with lovely engravings. Congrats!
