<p>my tray bears the number 6490, I would also like to know if it is any good? Concord International Silver company 6490<p>
I believe the mark you refer to is an "IS" not "TS" and it probably means International Silver.
Is it clearly marked Sterling? Does the drum have any letters in it? Is it a large bowl or a small one? What is the condition? Is it dented? All of these questions must be answered before a value can be guessed.
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.
The mark for sterling silver is 925 which indicates 92.5% silver content.
George Day - was a silversmith in London 1814. If you also have a lion mark then it would denote that it was made in London as well.
Rogers Bros. became part of the Meriden Britannia company. The Meriden Britannia company absorbed dozens of other silverware makers in the area and expanded its operation overseas, after which it became known as the International Silver Company (IS). International Silver may have used the 1847 Rogers mark as early as 1852. The successor to the International Silver Company is still in business and uses the 1847 trademark to this day.
