Long Description
I have been looking for silver for my father-in-law and came across this fork and spoon at a flea market. I tested them with a magnet and rubbed them with a piece of white cloth ( the cloth started turning black) so i assumed they were real silver. I know that the Rogers silver ware was made by not only him, but many other companies as well and i'm not sure what time period they are.
History

Re: WM Rogers (eagle and star) IS fork and spoon
Unless they are marked "Sterling" they are silver plated, When these were made rogers was part of International Silver, a large conglomerate of silver companies formed at the turn of the 19th century. Values for silverplate currently is in decline, due to a glut in the market and few eager buyers. Values are modest for individaul pieces like this, oftena t auction under $10.00 for the pair.
