Antique Sterling Silver Flower Band Thimble Simons Brothers * Circa 1890s This sterling silver thimble has a diagonally reeded rim and a wide band with flower designs in circles. The fancy cartouche is not personalized. It has the Simons Brothers shield inside the top along with "Sterling". The size (8) is on the band, though it's more a size 7. The condition is almost mint, crisp and in round with no holes, dents or even wear. Gay Ann Rogers shows this thimble on p. 20 (plate 22) of her American Silver Thimbles book. She calls the pattern "Three Rosettes".
