German floral pattern spoon

Hoping someone might do better at IDing the maker's mark on this pretty Poppy pattern spoon. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, that is what is left of the mark of Hugo Sandig (HS ligated), founded in the 1860ies in Breslau, Germany, later moved to Liegnitz and active there until 1945. The pattern appears with different marks, not sure who the actual maker was. Best wishes, Bahner

Thank you Bahner! Looked at that mark all sorts of ways and couldn't make any sense of it, don't feel quite so bad knowing that it's badly rubbed. If an American pattern, would most likely date to around 1900-10 - about right for this one too?
