The value of a set of 1947. Rogers Brothers flatware is dependent upon the condition of the flatware. The flatware can be worth as much as $1000 for a full set
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.
The cheapest set of flatware Walmart has to offer is called the Cambridge Silversmiths 53 piece set. It costs $34.97
Vagabond House manufactures a Bamboo pewter 5 piece setting .
Considering that most FB Rogers products are silver-plated rather than sterling, probably very little. Check for the pattern number (not 1883, which is part of the maker's mark). The hollow ware sterling registered pattern numbers are 118, 142, 144, 149, 164, 250, 400, 700 and 1636. You will need to get the flatware weighed and appraised locally to determine the scrap value. You may want to check eBay to determine if the flatware is worth more sold at auction than for its silver content.
