A rare Painted Tunbridge Ware thimble c1800. It pre-dates the inlaid work and is made of turned boxwood with some black painted lines as decoration.
In excellent condition-it has had a little bit of use- just a few tiny nicks near the top. It's long and slender with a domed top which is typical of early 19th century thimbles in other materials.

finger aperture 13mm
