M.G.C&Son mark. McGlashan ?

Hello, thought I would try another of my silver plate queries.
This possible makers mark is on a standard type dessert spoon. I believe the spoon is silver plated from wear marks on the finial. I have not found an obvious UK maker though it maybe that the “mark” is for a retailer.
Researching an unrelated spoon, I found “McGlashan Clarke and Co" the Canadian electroplating firm working in the early 20th century. The mark in my photo is not the same as the mark listed on this site’s list but could it be another mark used during the company’s history? I am hoping there are some members on the forum who have some knowledge to share about my spoon regarding who may have been the maker or even the retailer.
Thanks
