In my humble opinion, it just looks like an ordinary sewing thimble - although I *think* I can see a "splodge" on the top flat surface of the thimble which might just indicate that the "pin-pusher" part of a true lacemaker's thimble has been removed or fell out (as one did recently on one of my lacemaker's thimbles!)
