Can you help with these spoons? Maker? Pattern?

    I have four of these Sterling spoons. They are small - about 5" long.
    I can't see the mark clearly enough to figure out the maker - it's either a W or an M with a shape above or below it. The pattern looks somewhat like a Greek column but I've gotten nowhere searching for it.
    Can anyone help?

    Replacements lists the five o'clock spoon at 5 3/8 inches and the demitasse at 4 1/2. Measurements should be taken with the spoon upside down, resting on the point of the bowl, to be most accurate.

    Thanks Bakersgma, it's a five o'clock teaspoon.

    Hi Book & Sue,
    Those spoons reminded me of a joke about us Anglicans. A visitor went to see the devil so he he could check out Hell. The devil was showing him around and they stopped at one area where the tortured souls were being whipped with wet newspapers. the vistor says who are those people? The devil answered they are Jews who did not keep a kosher kitchen. They went to another area were people were having water spashed on them and beaten with rolled up newspapers. the visitors asked who they were. the devil replied they are Catholics who ate meat on Fridays. The next area they came to, the vistor could hear screams and moans and when he looked the people were being whipped with metal chains and stabbed with pitchforks and covered with flaming ashes. Oh my, the vistor said who are these poor souls. The devil said oh those are Victorian Anglicans who used a teaspoon instead of a five O'clock spoon.
