What is the value of 1883 FB Rogers Silver Co products?

Answer 1

Very little, unless you find one of the few patterns that are sterling, rather than sterling plate. These items will be worth exponentially more (hundreds or a few thousand dollars, depending on the item(s)).

For the most part, FB Rogers Silver Co mass produced silver-plated products that are very common on the secondary market, although people do collect it. The actual value of a particular piece or set depends on the condition, age, pattern and scarcity that object. To determine the value of your item, it's important to specify the piece(s) by name as well as by pattern number.

Incidentally, 1883 is part of the maker's mark, indicating the year the company was founded, not the year the item was made. There should be a pattern number stamped on the bottom that will help determine when the object was actually manufactured.

The registered pattern numbers are 118, 142, 144, 149, 164, 250, 400, 700 and 1636. The genuine silver version will have the word "Sterling" stamped on the bottom of each piece. If it doesn't say "sterling," it isn't.
