evangelinestime Posts: 18 Registered: Mar 2005	posted 03-27-2005 01:13 PM Hello Again- This is my sterling Swordfish Stiletto "Swordy" I CANNOT get the mark very well it comes out blurry...So- it is a shield with backwards S w/line through it and 2179.. I was wondering how old it might be?.. I do not have any silver books yet. PS, I have a better picture now for the mark on the pic frames if anyone wants to look again. Thanks very much!! IP: Logged

They used to produce, among other things, all sorts of fancy sewing accessories, believe are still making thimbles. Cheryl IP: Logged

Simons Bros. are still in business. In addition to making thimbles, they also make a variety of other items, including charms, pins, and specially commissioned jewelry items for organizations. For example, Simons produced a custom-designed silver charm bracelet that was given to players in the NCAA women's basketball Final Four, which was held earlier this year in Boston. IP: Logged
