Want this question answered?
Sir, Ma'am, I was given the original box the silverplate 50 piece silverware that came in with the original certificate of guarantee as a gift from my mother-in-law. I am just wondering how much it would be worth to sell. I also have my great-grandmother's silverware setting in the original case that is over 70 years old. I don't know the manufacturer on that one. I am just curious regarding the WM. ROGERS MFG. CO EXTRA PLATE setting. Thank you for your assistance Mrs. Lori McKnight
If it is sterling it will be imprinted on the piece. Otherwise it is silver plate. Most Rogers Brothers is silver plate.
It means International Standard of silver plating thus identifying your piece as silver plate vs. silver

Rogers Brothers is a silverware company that actually began in the 1820's but apparently used the actual Rogers Bros. name for the first time in 1847. Also, it seems that 1847 Rogers Bros silver plate or at least the trademark is still being manufactured or used today by the International Silver Company. In the late 1800's, Rogers Bros merged with or was purchased by the International Silver Company.
All Rogers items made in the 1881 line are plated. 1881 is the name of a group of silverware patterns, not the year it was made. Rogers did not make any sterling items in the 1881 pattern group.
I have the same set...it is silverplated.
No, it's actually silver plate. The original pattern was created in 1881, probably by one of the many Rogers labels. Today the patterns are re-created by Oneida and International Silver. I have a set of this silverware marked "1881 Rogers A1" and unraveled the history after a lot of research. My particular pattern is called "Scotia" and was made in 1915, but I obviously thought it was from 1881. If there is a "sterling" mark on the silver, you have sterling.However, most of the Rogers pieces are silver plate. If there is an "IS" marking, check International Silver for the pattern.
