Is theW M Rogers you S flatware silver?
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.

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.
