I have a 14k thimble with a SC mark inside a rectangle and a anchor next to it. Does anybody knows about this markings? I'll appreciate if you give me some info. Thank you.

This morning there are some 324 thimbles on sale through eBay. Staffordshire Lane, Heirloom Editions Ltd. has carried thimbles for some 30 years.

SC often stood for South Carolina, where a lot of jewelry was made. An anchor often stood for Birmingham, but the 3 things you described, sorry, I don't know.

Try going to eBay and searching thimbles.

Or contact a company that manufactures/sells thimbles.

Are you sure about the rectangle? Is it a larger C surrounding the SC? This is the mark of Goldsmith Stern Company, around the turn of the century (1900). It is worth about 65 dollars. Inside, you should see a number for finger size.

To find information about the markings on your 14k thimble, you can follow these steps:

1. Research Online: Use search engines like Google to look for information about the markings you mentioned. Start by searching for "14k thimble SC mark inside rectangle anchor." This might provide you with some initial results or leads.

2. Antique Forums or Communities: Look for online forums or communities that specialize in antiques, collectibles, or jewelry. Join these platforms and start a new thread or search for existing discussions related to your thimble's markings. People on these forums often share their knowledge and expertise.

3. Identify the Markings: The markings on your thimble can provide important clues about its origin and authenticity. The "14k" indicates that the thimble is made of 14-karat gold, which is common for jewelry and precious metal items. The "SC" mark inside a rectangle and the anchor symbol are most likely maker's marks or hallmarks. Hallmarks can vary depending on the country of origin or the manufacturer, so identifying the specific meaning of these marks may require further research.

4. Antique Appraisers or Dealers: Consider reaching out to antique appraisers or dealers who specialize in jewelry or thimbles. They may have expertise in identifying unique markings and can provide you with more information about your thimble.

Remember, the information you find online or through research should be taken as a starting point, and further investigation might be necessary to validate the accuracy and authenticity of the markings on your 14k thimble.
