Silver thimble

[ykennedy]

Hi, I have a thimble which belonged to my Grandmother. I am having trouble identifying the maker and also an unidentified mark as shown in the photos. I think the date mark is 1925 and I believe the makers mark is C&S or G&S and the unidentified mark has a 3. I wonder if you could help me.

Hi, Thanks for getting back so quickly.

I have posted the photos on postimages.com as you suggested and these are follows:




I hope this is helpful and you can identify the maker and what the other stamp is

Thanks

Hi Yvette,

My best guess with the little that remains of the maker's mark, is that it may be 'HG&S', the mark of Henry Griffith & Sons Ltd.. Striking longish marks on a curved surface is always difficult with some parts of the punch being struck deeper than others.

The other mark I think will be a '13', this relates to the size of the thimble.
