This one has an animal, a & sign, and then a C or G. Can't make it out. Says Sterling.
Thanks so much.

I think that's an anchor in the middle, not an ampersand.
Check out Gorham Manufacturing here:

Thank you. That makes sense. It is engraved a name on one side and on the other side "Oct 14, 1826 1886" so I think it was done in memory of someone who passed.
Thanks so much.
