They did both genuine sterling and sterling plate, the genuine flatware and dishes will be marked Sterling.
If it is marked "STERLING" OR "925" on the back of it, it means the silver is about 92.5% of the total weight of that piece. Otherwise the piece of silver plate flatware contains very insignificant amount of silver.
Gold is not marked 925, sterling silver is. What you have is probably gold PLATED sterling.
Unless the items are clearly marked Sterling they are silver plated. Rogers made lots of silver plate over the years, and the date is the patent date for the pattern, not the year they were made.

No, unless it is marked 925 or sterling. It is another metal with a sterling overlay.

Sterling silver is marked .925; fine silver is marked .999. It appears 3645 may be a pattern or product number.
Gold isn't marked 925. Sterling silver is marked 925. That indicates 92.5% silver.
yes
Sterling means that an item is solid silver of a certain quality, not plated.
325 sterling is not a standard marking. It is more likely that the jeweler stamped the piece poorly so the "925" that should have been marked looks like a "325". Also, by definition sterling is 925 parts per 1000 silver. No other alloy of silver is allowed to be marked or offered as sterling.
