Author	Topic: Rogers Bros 'IS'
RorieB unregistered	posted 04-08-2001 12:58 AM I have a large serving spoon that has a stamp on the back '1847 RogersBros' and then the letters 'I' 'S'. Does anybody know what the name of the flatware is and when it was produced? Thanks so much! Rorie IP: Logged

These prior posts might be of interest: From post entitled 1847 Rogers Bros per Ulysses Dietz: quote: Rogers is probably the most confusing and overused trade name in the silver world. The only consistency is that it is almost always electroplated silver (maybe always, but I always hedge my bets to guard against my own possible ignorance). ....... 1847 Rogers Brothers had become a division of the Meriden Britannia Company, which in turn became International Silver in1898. The name begins in 1847 with Asa Rogers, who starts making plated spoons. Hence the trade name that carries on, through many family divisions and corporate mergers, into the 20th century. From post entitled i found a spoon!!! Per Brent: quote: ...... 1847 Rogers is a well known silver plate "brand", put out by International Silver company. You can still buy new 1847 Rogers silverplate. ......... IP: Logged
Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 04-08-2001 08:28 AM 1847 Rogers was, and is, the "prestige" brand of silver plate produced by International Silver Company (I.S. stands for International Silver). If you can describe the pattern, we can probably identify it for you, although a picture would be preferable. Brent IP: Logged
