Antique Sterling Silver Putti Faces Thimble Stern Bros. & Co. * Circa 1900s This
solid silver thimble has a double band with little baby faces all
around the lower band.
They called it "putti" faces but it's also sometimes called angel,
cherub or baby faces. It was made by Stern Bros. & Co. of New York
and their
anchor trademark, "Sterling" and the size (9) are
marked on the upper band. The
condition is excellent, crisp and in round with
no holes, dents or other damage. It is illustrated on p. 149 (plate 62)
of Gay Ann Rogers' book American
Silver Thimbles.
