This is a Birmingham hallmark with the date letter "s" for 1917 and the maker's mark of A & J Zimmerman Ltd. Note that it is possible that the date letter could be "S" for 1942.

Hi,
I think they were in business until 1930.

They went into liquidation in 1929 but I have recorded their mark with a 1940 hallmark.
