Two very nice finds Andre. Top one is a commemorative medal but I can’t see enough detail to remind me what of.
The second is a really unusual and beautiful thimble, very old. Can you see a join in the top ? The really early ones were made in Germany (?) I think and were made and moulded in one piece. Fairly sure they dated as early as the 13th cent. But never seen
One with a pattern so maybe a bit later.

P.s. if you tap on pics they come up bigger and the right way up.

That’s cool!I thought the thimble was the end of an old walking stick.
Never seen a thimble with bumps,usually they are made with little holes.
Must be very old

Have you cleaned it yet ? What’s it made of, looks like it could be pewter. Might be worth a silver test.
My guess on age might be 17 to 18 hundreds and a keep sake gift rather than a working type.
