Author	Topic: 1847 Rogers Bros Flatware
vallerie Posts: 5 Registered: Sep 2002	posted 09-11-2002 04:24 PM I have recently purchased a service for 12 of 1847 Rogers Bros Flatware. The pieces are stamped on the reverse, after the name, with an I and S. Can someone tell me what those two letters stand for? IP: Logged

vallerie Posts: 5 Registered: Sep 2002	posted 09-11-2002 04:54 PM Thanks for the quick response! With only the markings mentioned in the first message, how would one tell if this was plate or sterling? IP: Logged

Only occasionally does one find 1847 Rogers Bros. flatware in sterling and then it is marked sterling. I have never seen sterling 1847 Rogers Bros. flatware with the IS mark. It has always been silver plate. IP: Logged
