Author	Topic: Rogers & Wood? BERLIN Pattern Flatware
Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 04-15-2011 03:42 PM [21-1198] Hello all, Here are some nice old salad forks with a marks I have never encountered before. The pattern is BERLIN, patented in 1899. Hagan lists it under American Silver Co, with "1897 Butler Bros." being another back stamp found with this pattern. These, however are marked with an acorn trademark followed by "ROGERS & WOOD CO. A.1.". With all the different Rogers companies that made and sold silverplate, I still can't find any information about this company. Does anyone know? Brent IP: Logged

In the company's advertisement at that time, the acorn is between the two names, and the ampersand looks as though it was typed on the acorn. US Pat.
