Heirloom Teaspoon Manufacturer - Marked J.J. Palmer

[AmandaP]

Hello!
I am hoping someone can help me identify the maker and *bonus* pattern of this spoon. They are a family heirloom of unknown origin (unfortunately at 97, Grandma doesn't remember...), likely purchased in Wisconsin. What I have is a set of 6 teaspoons.

I think the first two marks before the word Sterling are a lion and an anchor, but they are difficult to make out. I can't make out the third one at all.

Full spoon - Front


Full spoon - Back


Front - Detail


J.J. Palmer Mark


Sterling and Makers(?) Mark - Angle 1


Sterling and Makers(?) Mark - Angle 2


I have already identified 4 other pieces/sets using this website (thank you!) but am stumped on this one! Any help is appreciated.

Leaving this up in case it helps someone else.

Upon further research, I believe this spoon is Gorham Silver - Bristol Pattern from ~1895.
