A few days ago we were brought a teaspoon for repair. It is very old style and at first I thought it was plated because it says "Rogers" on the back, but it turned out to be silver, coin I suspect. Was this the same Rogers that later was so prolific with plated ware?

Some of the Rogers were silversmiths who later went into plating. Others never became platers. Trying to sort out the Rogers is like geneology of a large royal family. Does it say anything other than Rogers?

Posting a photo is more helpful in identification than words only. Shape of the letters, whether there is a pellet, additional marks(pseudo marks or other devices) etc are all considered when identifying makers. Shape of the spoon is always helpful by giving a rough idea of age.time period. Besides that we would all like to see the spoon if possible.

The spoon is marked only "Rogers". I will attempt to photogragh it and put it on the site. It's been a while since I last posted a picture, so I'll probably have to read Scott's instructions again.

Rogers is such a common name that there must have been makers of coin silver named Rogers completely unaffiliated with the clan that went on to silver-plating fame. Unfortunately I think I lost my coin marks books in my last move, so I can't really look it up to see what Rogers fellows were out there making coin silver.
