Question
The value of a gold thimble 120 or more years old and has a bell and an s inside
Hello Helen. Your thimble was made by Simons Bros. Co, a thimble maker still in business today. Their mark is a Old English "S" in a shield. Without a picture of your thimble, I can't tell you anything more. If you can send a picture to bacchino@twcny.rr.com, I'll see if I can provide anything more. Sorry I can be of more help. Barbara
