The value of heirloom sterling silver flatware in a sentimental pattern can vary significantly based on factors such as the brand, age, condition, and rarity of the pattern. Generally, sentimental value often surpasses monetary value, as these pieces are often cherished for their personal history. However, depending on the market and demand, they can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. It's best to consult with an appraiser or look at recent sales of similar items to determine a more accurate value.

Reed and Barton make flatware eating utensils. They produce them in stainless steel as well as sterling silver. Usually, these are given as gifts to newlywed couples who have chosen a certain pattern.
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.

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.
Depends on the individual pattern and condition of the flatware. Therefore the value varies.
