This beautiful antique silver thimble was hallmarked in Chester in 1913, by Charles Horner.

It is prettily decorated with a repeated starburst/floral design; it is lovely to think how many different sewing projects it has been part of in its lifetime......

1913, the year that unemployment and maternity benefits were introduced, Emmeline Pankhurst was sentenced to three years of penal servitude and Emily Davison, another suffragette, ran out in front of the King's horse at the Derby and died days later. 

The thimble is in good condition with a lovely hallmark, treasured by someone for many years.  A lovely gift for a keen needle-person, or a lover of exquisite small objects.

It measures 2.4 cm tall,  with an inner diameter of 1.8 cm.

It has been cleaned in a jewellers ultasonic bath to bring out the best of this mini work of art.
