Hi
I have a thimble Its gold, it feels like gold, it has hallmarks, But I don't know if its gold, it looks like the letter L, an Anchor, and either another Anchor, or a Lion.

Can you tell me if this is gold or gold filled

Thanks

There is an acid test that is used to determine if it is solid gold, gold plate or something else. Rather than risking messing up your thimble, I would suggest taking it to a jeweler who could perform the test.

You could also click on the following two searches and see if you can find one that is like the one that you have and then click on the images that you see to find if there is any additional information.
