Just purchased a sugar and cream set that was made by F B Rogers Silver Company with the Crown 1883 Trademark and the no. 1083 stamped on them the set is silver on copper. What is the value of these?

Answer 1

Hi, there is a website called; replacement.com. There you'll find value info on china, crystal, and silver. If there is a # stamped on the item, that will make it easier on you, otherwise you'll have to go into the silver section, go to the "R" listing and scroll down until you find 1884 Rogers, click on, then you'll see a whole list of items, now if you know if its sterling, or silverplate this will help,pluse its hollowware instead of flaware, most of the items listed will state sterling or plated + hollowware. So if its eather or on the plating, scroll thru each item that you know it as and click on the item to view the items pattern. It may take awhile, there are alot of different patters. Once you find the matching pattern, in the same window scrolling down, they will list each item they have on hand and a replacement value price. If you don't see say the creamer, but find the sugar bowl, back on top of the page they have a reg pattern opition, you can click on that, fill in the info from the page pluse the item you couldn't find, and they will email you with the info once it becomes available to them. Good luck!

Please note that the above might provide what is termed a replacement value for insurance. What you might get for the set in a sale would be significantly less - in fact, when purchasing, Replacements pays between 10 to 20 cents on the dollar of what they charge.
