... please stand up? I purchased this gravy ladle, just over six inches in length, as a lark, due to the maker's mark. The ladle is stamped only "ROGERS BROTHERS", and no other marks, save the monogram. Such a mark would, of course, immediately cause one to consider the famed early makers of silverplate flatware. But I can't identify this particular mark in either Rainwater or on line. Here are the photos: The leading "R" is lightly struck and difficult to read, the trailing "S" somewhat less so, all else is very clear. There is no drop. The piece is on the thin side, which might suggest coin silver construction. General wear is light, and if silverplate, there is no wear through on the bowl, but there is a change in the surface texture along the edges of the stem; if this is wear through, then the plating is rather thin. Does anyone recognize this particular mark? TIA for any and all info! IP: Logged |

Hmmmmm, a week with no takers. Perhaps I should give the Silverplate board a try. If the moderator can move the thread, thanks; otherwise, I'll try re-asking there in a day or two. IP: Logged |

The early Rogers marks are confusing. But so also are the later ones. IMHO, one can not tell the difference between plate and coin Rogers just by a mark. Your mark appears early, could be coin could be plate. This probably calls for an acid test, sad to say. IP: Logged |

I've never seen anything to indicate that the Rogers Brothers firm made anything but silverplate. IP: Logged |

Thanks so far, I'm now about three quarters sure that, despite the thin stock, it is silverplate. I'm more interested in whether this is a known mark and what period it is from, and whether it is by the famous silverplate producers. Again, TIA for any help! IP: Logged |
