No.
IS stands for the International Silver Co. and unless it says sterling or 925/1000 it is silver plate.
I wish I knew because I have two pieces I have researched for hours. Like the Gieko says, "Will someone please help me?"
It's cheap nickel/copper/alloy untensils that ARE NOT solid silver from Brazil like it says or you think! I have some, keep it in the family if you have had it for a while!
The Wallace spoon that I am looking at says "China" on it so I would say "Yes"
I have a full set of WM A. Rogers AA heavy Oneida LTD. Flatware... It says on the back of the knives "STAINLESS". I hope this answers your question. I have a similar set of flatware and the "Stainless" on the knife means the blade is stainless. However, the handle and other parts of set could be stainless or silverplate. WM A Rogers did mostly silver plated flatware, not sterling silver. If it tarnishes it is most likely silver-plated.
No, it's actually silver plate. The original pattern was created in 1881, probably by one of the many Rogers labels. Today the patterns are re-created by Oneida and International Silver. I have a set of this silverware marked "1881 Rogers A1" and unraveled the history after a lot of research. My particular pattern is called "Scotia" and was made in 1915, but I obviously thought it was from 1881. If there is a "sterling" mark on the silver, you have sterling.However, most of the Rogers pieces are silver plate. If there is an "IS" marking, check International Silver for the pattern.
No. It is silver.

If it really is silver its worth about $8 in silver melt. However, the vast, vast, vast, vast majority of them are not silver. First, look at the mintmark, if it isn't an "S" for sure it isn't silver. If it does have an "S" mintmark it may or may not be silver. If it is in a proof set that says "Silver Proof Set" it is indeed 90% silver, if it just says proof set, it is not silver.
My "Easton" place settings and replacement pieces I bought up until 2004, or so, said made in USA. The replacement place spoon I just received (Feb 2008) says it was made in Indonesia.
its silver plated...unless it says sterling on it. this company was known for making silver plated sets.
