The IS on Wm Rogers Silverware stands for International Silver.
is there william a rogers silver nickel
IS stands for International Silver (Company). FB Rogers, Wm Rogers, and Rogers Bros. (or Rogers & Sons) were some of the American silverplate manufacturers that were combined into the International Silver Company in 1898. The IS mark indicates the flatware is silverplate, rather than sterling.
"W.R." on the back of silverware likely stands for "Warranted Silver-Plate," indicating that the item is not solid silver but a silver-plated piece. The two symbols could be a logo or manufacturer's mark, which may help identify the origin of the silverware.

Not much. it is a thin layer of silver on top of some alloys that contain little or no silver.

If it is sterling it will be imprinted on the piece. Otherwise it is silver plate. Most Rogers Brothers is silver plate.
coated with silver 3 times but still only silver plated !
It means International Standard of silver plating thus identifying your piece as silver plate vs. silver
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.
