silverplate been checking on mine also
I have a full set of WM A. Rogers AA heavy Oneida LTD. Flatware... It says on the back of the knives "STAINLESS". I hope this answers your question. I have a similar set of flatware and the "Stainless" on the knife means the blade is stainless. However, the handle and other parts of set could be stainless or silverplate. WM A Rogers did mostly silver plated flatware, not sterling silver. If it tarnishes it is most likely silver-plated.
I have been told that the 12 denotes the DWT or pennyweight of the item. It is supposed to be silver and not silverplate. I am not sure what pattern you have but check it to see if it is silver and not silverplate. I think the value can be determined by finding the actual pattern name, or if you want to scrap it, see what silver is bringing per ounce right now.
One way to tell the difference between silver and silverplate is to look for a hallmark or stamp that indicates the metal content. Silver will typically be marked with a number such as "925" or "Sterling," indicating that it is real silver, while silverplate will often be marked with terms like "EPNS" (Electro Plated Nickel Silver) or "A1." Additionally, silverplate will generally have a layer of another metal, such as nickel or copper, underneath the thin silver coating.
Wm. Rogers silverplate marked "800" is a good quality silverplate. Some say that the "800" means coin silverplate. All that are marked "800" are the same pattern, so I always assumed that "800" was also the pattern. (There are different Wm Rogers sets with different numbers on them also.) I have a Wm Rogers tea set from the 1960's also marked "800" on the bottom of the coffee server. I believe Oneida also made these sets well into the 1980's. I have seen prices on the internet from $25 for beginning auctions to $395 for well-cared for sets. I estimate the value of my set at $100 since that seems to be the most popular price. Other factors need to be considered as well, such as do all the pieces match, are they intact or broken, or is the plate coming off? These are only my thoughts and you will need a certified silver appraiser to give you an actual value.
What is the value of wm rogers silver tray marked 171
is wm rogers sliver ware marked I S
Unless the items are clearly marked Sterling they are silver plated. Rogers made lots of silver plate over the years, and the date is the patent date for the pattern, not the year they were made.
Apparently, FB Rogers silverware marked China is a knock-off! Buyers - beware!

IS stands for Inlaid silver. ie Holmes and Edwards have a full line of Inlaid silver, which is major improvement over silver palte and the IS is stamped on each piece, usualy in a square box stamp
