Question I recently received a set of Wm. Rogers & Son silverware. It is a full 26 piece set, with six place settings, plus a butter knife and serving spoon. It is in a cloth roll-up container. The spoons, etc say WM ROGERS & SON AA XII. On the knives it also says Warranted 16 Dwt. Those are the only words on them.
I examined every nook and cranny, but can't find the pattern. I've also looked on the internet through hundreds of patterns, but haven't seen this particular one. How do I find out their age, worth, or the name of the pattern? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Answer Hello Sonya. If you post a picture of the pattern here, I should be able to identify it for you. Otherwise, have you been to replacements.com to look for the pattern? It should be under International Silver as that's who made the Wm. Rogers line.
