Thimble: the Pitted Iron Thimble Gilt Inside (Rouy and Berthier, Ure 1839)
The Paris method of Rouy and Berthier: thin sheet-iron discs, red-hot, punched step by step into a cup through five ever-deeper hollows, then turned, pitted and annealed on the lathe, gilt inside with gold leaf pressed on by a steel mandril, and banded outside with a gold fillet.
Variable: closed (pitted round end) or open (no end, for tailors).
