Silver Thimble from Colonial Home Site

[bergie]

Earthworks and I were out the other day at the old colonial homestead. I found a 1957 Washington quarter (silver/nice), a few wheaties, an old horse buckle and this really nice silver thimble with a cool scene of a farm or homestead all the way around the bottom. This is the second thimble like this I've found at a colonial home. (Nice job by earthworks cleaning and photographing ,thanks.)

I always like thimbles because they are personal objects. You know it was owned by an individual and used or displayed in their home.

That is the coolest thimble I have ever seen! Does it date to the colonial period or is it Victorian? Awesome find in my book. WTG, Bergie!
