Silver flatware is either sterling or silverplate over a base metal. Pure (.999) silver is too soft to use for eating utensils.
Most FB Rogers products were quadruple silver plate over copper or another base metal, but a few of their patterns were sterling silver.
The genuine sterling pieces carry one of the following pattern numbers: 118, 142, 144, 149, 164, 250, 400, 700 or 1636. These will also have the word "Sterling" stamped on the bottom of each piece. If it doesn't say "sterling," it is silver plate.
