    I found this little thimble. Not sure if it was my Moms or Grandmothers. It is a #5. inside it is marked sterling with the conjoined letters UR. That's all I know. Anyone know the age of this?

    Well, if it is Untermeyer Robbins, they're listed in the 1922 Jeweler's Circular. But they are not listed in Rainwater or on either 925-1000 or Sterlingflatwarefashions, so it's tough to say.

    Now - the UR mark in the 1922 JC has a U that is more "pinched" at the top than this one looks. But there's no other UR mark for this kind of thing anywhere else. Shrug

    So I am thinking that this wasn't my Moms or my Grandmothers. A #5 is awfully small for a grown woman. Must have been for a child? I spoke with my Father and he thinks my Mom just bought it somewhere but he doesn't remember. He said Sell it boy...
