11. The HALLMARK, HG&S, is for HENRY GRIFFITH & SONS Ltd. They had a thimble factory near Birmingham, England, where they made thimbles from 1856-1956. They were the leading supplier of silver thimbles in Great Britain for much of that time. This thimble with a SMOOTH RIM and ALL-OVER indentations above, is typical of those made by HG&S at the turn of the 19th century. Fully Hallmarked on the WIDE PLAIN RIM. The "Z" indicates it was made in 1899. "14" is the size. It is about a U. S. size 8. Without holes, dents, or creases. THANKS FOR LOOKING! QUANTITY AVAILABLE = 1.
