Estate sale find!  Lot of 7 antique sterling silver thimbles.  I beleive that two have gold on the bottom part of thimbles.  I am not an expert or collector of thimbles.  I did a little research on the web based on the hallmarks to determine that one is made by Simons Bros.  another is made by Webster Co. and another is made by Waite Thresher.  This is based on the hallmarks on the individual thimbles.  Details are as per the following:

Thimble with a star and number 10 inside of thimble. ( Waite Thresher)

Thimble with a star and a thimble inside of the star with a number 8 and sterling inside of thimble.  Unknown maker to me..

Thimble with Webster Co. Mark inside of thimble / grapes and leave pattern on outside.

Thimble with an S inside of a shield and number 11 on it.  This I beleive to be Simons Bros.

Thimble marked Sterling on the inside and a number 10 with an anchor on the outside.  This appears to be gold on the lower part of thimble.  Unknown make to me.

Thimble with a shield on the inside with something inside of the shield I cannot make out.  Sterling and number 9 on the outside with an Art Nouveau style.  Unknown maker to me..

Thimble marked with a shield / coat of arms - it looks like their is a sword with either a ribbon or snake wrapped around the sword inside of the shield / crest.  It is stamped with a number 8 on the outside and appears to be gold on the lower half of thimble.  This is the thimble in the little blue box.  I do not know if the blue box belongs to that actual thimble. 

I have tried to do my best in describing the thimbles but please do feel free to contact me if you should have any additional questions or care to educate me a bit!  Thanks. 

Listing all in a lot with a very low starting price and no reserve so good luck and happy bidding to all you thimble lovers!
