Question

Spoon
I have a Wm Rogers & son AA spoon. On the front it has a sheild with United states of America. Date on back says Feb 23 1915. Can you tell if it is Sterling silver and worth anything?  

Thank you for your help

Wesley

Answer
Hello Wesley.  

If it's not marked sterling, then it's silverplate.  I don't really deal in silverplate, butdo know that most silverplated souvenir spoons go for $5 to $10.  Since your spoon has a fancy bowl it should be worth more like $10 to $15.
