Outstanding Antique English 9 Ct Gold Thimble

by James Fenton * Hallmarked 1901

This English gold thimble is fancier than most and it has an elegant, velvety matte finish. The lower band has a lacy applied design on top. The upper band is hand engraved with delicate scrolls. It has the maker's mark for James Fenton and English 9 Ct gold hallmarks for Birmingham 1901.

It's about an American size 7-8 (14.7 mm diameter opening). It is in almost mint condition, crisp and in round with no holes, dents or even wear. It weighs 4.46 grams and the cartouche has no personalization.
