Question
HI MICHELLE,
I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION A SILVERPLATE MARKED WMROGERS. THERE IS AN EAGLE IN FRONT OF THE NAME AND A STAR AFTER IT. UNDERNEATH THERE ARE THE NUMBERS 3671. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS, BUT I TOLD U WERE THE ONE TO ASK.  P.S. I BOUGHT IT AT AN ESTATE SALE.

Answer
Hi Kimberly.

I don't know if I'm the one to ask, but ask away!

Are you saying it's a plate?  I can tell from the info you provided it's from the 20th century and it's silverplated.  The number 3671 is a model and size number, but I don't know specifically what it refers to.  FYI, Wm. Rogers is a division of International Silver.

Best regards,
Michelle
