Might someone identify the following maker's marks on some 5 3/4 inch long fiddle pattern teaspoons (identified by the seller as by John Wanless of Toronto, late nineteenth century, but I have no text on Canadian silversmiths to confirm)? Thanks for any info!

Thanks, Pat, the maker's mark you posted is closer than anything in my Ensko. I would be further interested if anyone could reference the apparent pseudo-hallmarks. Thanks again!
