I recently had this item for sale. I rejected an offer and the buyer immediately started messaging me that I had it listed incorrectly. That I had identified the mark incorrectly. I removed the listing but the user continued to harangue me. I had researched it before listing it and I'd like to see if I was correct or incorrect. Could you help?
I'm going to post three photos. Two of my thimble and one of a mark I found on the internet that I used to identify my thimble.
Thanks for any assistance!

Check out this website and scroll down to United States.

"Simons Brothers, Pa. (SBC mark used on nickel silver). Sometimes 'sterling', sometimes 'sterling silver'."
I think it is confusing because they used a different mark on sterling thimbles than on non-sterling thimbles. Yours is apparently nickel silver according to that website.
