The sticker is not enough. It could be a retailer. Show us marks on silver, please.

Hello fairy86!
Your item is not so old, it's from around 1930. As I know, the marks with the P and K belongs to Polgár Kálmán, who worked in Budapest until 1940. A clearer picture about the hallmark can verify the age of your item.
I hope, this helps.
Best regards!

And another thought. You wrote sterling silver, that means 925‰.
The silver hallmarks in Austria-Hungary, and after the WWI in Hungary until 1937 was for the fineness 750‰, 800‰, 900‰, and 950‰. So I don't know, where is from your information, please, share with us! The hallmark can help to identify the fineness too, not only the age. Thank you!
Best regards!
