I have 8 silver plate demitasse spoons that I cannot identify. The two maker marks are too small to make out any detail using a loupe and I have compared their shape with all on the website and found no match. Can anyone help?

I have a monogrammed fork from my family silver chest with a maker mark that is too worn to identify. I have compared it to all of the pictorial images on the website; but didn’t find a match. Can anyone identify the mark? The mark is followed byu the word STERLING.
