This is a thimble with a scenic repoussé (raised) design, which looks like it features a ship at sea or a coastal landscape—a popular motif in collectible or souvenir thimbles, especially from the late 19th to early 20th centuries.
Notable Features:
Material: Appears to be silver or silver-plated (confirmation would require a hallmark).
Design: The lower band of the thimble has a detailed embossed or repoussé landscape, likely a ship at sea with possibly rocky shorelines or waves.
Dimpled Top: The top half has the standard pattern for sewing grip, suggesting this could have been both functional and decorative.
Possible Origin:
These types of scenic thimbles were popular as souvenirs or gifts during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, particularly in Europe. The ship scene might indicate a maritime town, British port, or even Scandinavian origin.
I don’t see any hallmarks on the inside.
