Please help id flatware marked "Sterling" only

Hello all, the flatware pictured above is marked only "Sterling" on the back. I received a service of this silver from my grandmother, who received it as a wedding gift from her husband's grandmother when she was married in 1934. They lived in Philadelphia and I assume it dates back to the 19th century. My grandmother always lamented that the original engravings had been polished off for hers.

I've had these appraised by someone who claims they're Tuttle "Georgian" pattern, but that doesn't match any pictures I've found on the web.

Can anyone tell me something about them? Please let me know if you need additional photos, and thanks in advance for your help,
Kurt

They're lovely, look like typical 1880s-90s engraved pieces. Could have been made by anyone, often these patterns were numbered. Might have been left unmarked to be stamped by the retailer or were perhaps engraved by a local jeweler. They are not Tuttle's Georgian pattern.
