Author	Topic: About a Manufacturer
michaelsbob Posts: 12 Registered: Sep 2018	posted 11-30-2018 04:55 PM I acquired 3 Dinner forks the other day and they have the following stamped on the back of each: 'Simeon L. & George H. Rogers Company Solid Silver Metal' I know they were acquired by Wm A. Rogers and then Oneida but nothing I looked at says whether they produced Sterling or Plate. Does anyone know if this inference, 'Solid Silver Metal,'designates Sterling? IP: Logged
ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 12-01-2018 01:01 PM This is from a section on eBay about silver plate: "Simeon L & George H Rogers Co. was in business circa 1900, and produced only silver plate patterns. The company was taken over by Wm. A. Rogers Limited in 1918 and Oneida in 1929. The words "solid silver" used in some trade names around this time period can be misleading,so be careful. They referred to the color of the base metal (nickel instead of copper) and not the actual silver content." IP: Logged
