This thimble not knowing the percentage of silver could go for $20 to over $100. It is unclear what type of stones are present. This also could add more value. You show to a jeweler/antique appraiser to get more knowledge on the type of metal. Here is a link to others - www.ebay.co.uk/.../bn_16566944

Normally if the thimble was actually sterling silver you should find a mark on the inside of the thimble. I looked at the stones and they do not see to be of much value, at first I thought they might be tourquiose but now I don't think so. They do have designer thimbles listed for sale, seems like a lot of them, for around $35-150.

A few are a bit higher but that is because they are gold and not silver. As for the age this one is hard to determine because you should find some sort of marking on it. I would try and check with an antique shop in your area and see if they can tell you more about it.
