Could be. What are the markings on the inside where the tip of the finger would touch?

I found one that said sterling inside in the tip

I am going to say yes, and I am pretty certain the monogram inside marks it as a simons brothers thimble.Silver thimbles - Thimble identification - Sites - Google

Beautiful thimble, likely silver and in perfect shape. Most you dig come out mashed on one or both sides.

Beautiful looking thimble. I vote silver.

Sure looks like its silver. On the inside tip there seems to be a silver hallmark of some sort.

Looks better then any thimble I've ever found, none of mine were silver. Lol

I looked at it for 1.5 seconds, made my mind up, did not even look at the mark closely.

Have found many thimbles myself, but never a complete Silver one.

Nice find.
