Got the two thimbles but one is silver with the cool what looks like burn marks on it. Wonder what it was used for? Also dug a tombac that really had me going until I flipped it over:BangHead:

Do you see any maker's marks within either thimble?

No. This is only my second silver thimble. Pretty sure they are both silver. Both of them looked to be marked only with a size number. They were both found on colonial sites but pretty sure theyre 19th century
