Mill wheel Star = Martin Mayer, Mainz, Germany
Hello Steve
The here shown "maker's mark" is that of Martin Mayer, Mainz, Germany.
Martin Mayer was a little manufactory with a broad range of little silver wares - but they were also wholesaler. So some of their products were made by other workshops or manufactories - and signed/warranted by Martin Mayer.
For the export all necessary fineness were made - in this case STERLING.
It seems to me that yours item was made by a contractor from Hanau, Germany. It seems to be made by the sand cast production technique.
Time range: Before WWI.
Kind regards silverport
