tea set identification

Hi. I have what I believe to be a sterling tea set produced in Mexico. I have pictures of the hallmark, but I cannot identify it. Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

The picture I chose is one of a small bowl that came with the set. I don't know what this bowl is used for (sugar cubes???), but this is definitely a tea set (tea pots, etc., included) I apologize for the color of the bowl; it didn't come out true (probably because of the red tablecloth...when will I learn.)

I looked at the hallmarks listed on the site and found nothing. I am surmising that this set is post-1950 from the information I already found elsewhere on this site, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!!!

Hi,
We won't be able to help, the image you are using does not have a maker's mark. It only shows the eagle 1 of Mexico City, Sterling 925, and Hecho en Mexico (made in mexico). The maker's mark is probably the obliterated word below all of this.
Regards, Tom

Thank you so much for your quick response.

I checked all of the other pieces in the set, and they all only had a partial last line that was unintelligible. Does this mean there is no hope for identifying this set? Can it be narrowed down even a little with the information I do have?
