Silver candlestick with unknown hallmarks. Would appreciate help identifying these markings to determine is truly sterling.

Hi, Arjosolofind. :-)
I don't know about that bird (eagle?) on the left, and the lion rampant on the right, but those marks in the center look like they could be the Continental Silver Company:

FYI, the general rule of thumb on silver is that if it's sterling, it's marked with the word "Sterling," ".925," or some other sterling standard (the amount of silver content to be considered sterling varied between countries and eras).
Thank you all. Very helpful.
Yes he is correct, if it's not stamped Sterling It's not sterling.
