Can't find this M hallmark on ladle, suggestions?

Could this be an old Mueck-Cary hallmark? Can't find this exact M in list. Thanks for any help.

Hello.

Believe that is the sterling mark of the Maltby, Stevens & Curtiss Company, Wallingford, Connecticut.

Thanks Pat. I found Maltby, Stevens & Curtiss under silverplate, but they had a mark of MSC. Maybe Mr. Maltby did some solo work in sterling?

Hello.

Dorothy Rainwater's book "Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufactures"
shows a drawing of your marks and incates they were used on sterling.

And with Pat's information, I can now tell that the mark to the right of sterling is a griffin. Great job!

Great job indeed, can't thank you enough. It's such a lovely item and I hated not to know who had made it!
