Do you detect an "S" within the star's center space?

Cannot be British as they use a formal "Hallmark" system. American sources more likely. Of five noted using stars, four are nots.
One maybe left...Thomas F. Brogan Company of New Yoak, New Yoke:

One other possible might be Norway. They have used Sterling as a word mark for that standard. [A star mark is shown next to an 830S as a sample at the beginning of that section, but I don't know who it is linked to.]
