Silverware

Silver is a tiny bit poison. Enough to kill bacteria.

So silverware was made to make eating a bit more sanitary, the silver killing off some of the bad bacteria.

Plus it was something only the wealthy could afford. Nobody with wealth wants to eat with the same instruments as the lower class people.

Oneida manufactures stainless steel flatware, but ceased making sterling silver pieces in 2005.

try replacements.com or silverpatterns.com Both are companies that sell replacement silverware.

The metal it was made out of. Oneida flatware has little or not value unless it's silver. The company is in a downward spiral & has lost it's reputation as a good flatware manufacturer. Switching to offshore product to increase profit margin has destroyed this company. Sad but true.

I have a set of 1847 Rogers Bros. TS Reflection Silverware. What is it worth?

It depends on what it is on, if it is gold on stainless steel or another base metal, not much, gold plating only puts a thin layer of gold on them, too little to be of any real value and requires costly removal to sell the gold. However, if it is gold plating over something like silver, it might have value, but rather for the sterling silver under the gold plating than for the gold plating.

My "Easton" place settings and replacement pieces I bought up until 2004, or so, said made in USA. The replacement place spoon I just received (Feb 2008) says it was made in Indonesia.

I have found what someone believes to be a silent butler. It is tornished beyond retoration . It is marked F.B Rogers. Is it of any value. Trade mark 1883 or 1893 (not at my disposal at the moment) It has the number 171 below the trade mark. The top seems to be cooper based . My question is what is the base made of cooper or brass plated. It sands off looking like brass.

today it would be over a $100-$1000 depending on where you sell it

It reallly depends on the buyer. But I would buy it at ehh, around, 200 dollars.

What are the fb Rodgers flatware worth a 100 pieces

Well it would depend on the number of pieces and the condition. If the pieces are monogrammed that cuts the resale value nearly in half. If you were discussing a complete service for 12 the value would probably be somewhere between one and two thousand dollars.

It would depend upon the base metal underneath the plating. If it's copper or brass for instance then probably not. If it's a tin based alloy of some sort, maybe.

A dollar or less.
