I have a 1847 Rogers Bros stamp I S what does this mean ? and what is it worth?
Hi, Rogers Bros 1847 Eternally Yours is silver plate.
The 1847 Rogers Bros. IS Flair is made from sterling silver. This means that it is actually 100 percent real silver.
1847 rogers bros is the name of the company the silver is from 1937 and its only silver plated so its worth a little over par.
The "1847" in 1847 Rogers signifies the year that the process of silver plating was discovered. Shortly thereafter Rogers Brothers began manufacturing silver plated wares.
Rogers Brothers is a silverware company that actually began in the 1820's but apparently used the actual Rogers Bros. name for the first time in 1847. Also, it seems that 1847 Rogers Bros silver plate or at least the trademark is still being manufactured or used today by the International Silver Company. In the late 1800's, Rogers Bros merged with or was purchased by the International Silver Company.

The "1847" date on the back does not mean the piece was made that year. Many Rogers pieces have the company founding date on them.
There are but a select few places to purchase 1847 Rogers Bros silverware. The two best and commonly used are eBay and the 1847 Rogers Bros official website.
The tongs says roger bros then has a dotted circle with what looks like a bird inside.
Plated. 1847 is the year Rogers Bros. was founded and is part their hallmark; it is not the year your flatware was manufactured. The IS (International Silver) stamp indicates you have silver plated flatware manufactured after 1898. Silverplate has no scrap value. For more information see Related Questions, below.
