Do you detect an "S" within the star's center space?

Cannot be British as they use a formal "Hallmark" system. American sources more likely. Of five noted using stars, four are nots.
One maybe left...Thomas F. Brogan Company of New Yoak, New Yoke: https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.co ... SSB11.html

Not sure of their works, but noted by Rainwater as entered under "sterling silverware and jewelry" in old JC's.

One other possible might be Norway. They have used Sterling as a word mark for that standard. [A star mark is shown next to an 830S as a sample at the beginning of that section, but I don't know who it is linked to.]
