I have not been able to find the maker for this pictorial hallmark. To me it appears to be a bird head facing left, but perhaps I am mistaken.

It's on this ladle. I have a couple pieces, all with this hallmark and pattern and some enamel.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi - that's a common variant of the H.H. Curtis gryphon mark, don't believe that was ever a named or full-line pattern...

Given that (for everyone other than Cheryl) this mark can be a bit of a pain to search, adding "griffon or griffin over torse". And another view of this mark posted here: https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.co ... Other.html
