Rogers & Bros. (not to be confused with FB Rogers or Wm Rogers), founded in 1847, was a maker of silver-plated kitchenware, including trays, although they were more noted for their flatware. They were purchased by International Silver Co. in the 1950s (as was FB Rogers). The 1847 is part of a maker's mark, not a manufacturing year. Resale of their silver-plated trays averages about $15.50, according to the Silver Plate Flatware Co. For more information, see Related Links, below.
