One of the rarer Dorcas type thimbles-a 'Little Dorcas'. It looks just the same as a silver thimble of the period but has a steel core and is a small size 8. The later variants of the original pre-1900 Patent Dorcas thimbles have a flatter top and were made creating a metal sandwich of silver and steel rather than three separate thimble shapes fixed together.
In excellent condition- very little wear.
