Silver thimble, does anybody recognize the hallmark?

[Iron Buzz]

Found in the yard of a home that was moved to the current site at the beginning of the 20th century, but the area was a town in the 1850s. There are no marks on the inside of the thimble. I am hoping somebody will recognize what I assume is the maker's trademark... Sterling broken up into two words, and two vertical lines. I have tried to Google it, but its a tough one to search for and so far, no luck.

I want to return the thimble to the home owner, as it may well have been his great-grandmother's, but I'd love to be able to maybe tell him more about it.

Thanks for the "Likes", but nobody has any idea on identification, huh? Is this the best forum for that?

I don't think anyone can ID this because the mark "ll" is the size of the thimble and probably not a hallmark. Thimbles come in a variety of sizes and 11 is one of those. The size is usually marked on the thimble next to the sterling or .925 ect
Many do not have a hallmark.

The thimble I found looked very similar. The hallmark "S" was down on the inside. At the fingertip.

I agree not much more you can get from it
