Description

I am selling a wonderful silverplate flatware group! This group is the 1847 Rogers grape pattern, better known as “Vintage”. Vintage was introduced in 1904, and was made until 1918. It has become a classic, and is as desired today as it was over 100 years ago. This group came from an estate, the owner was downsizing and this was one of the treasures that she parted with. The set consists of 20 pieces, all hollow handled knives and forks. They are as follows: Eight 10” hollow handled dinner knives Four 9 3/4” hollow handled dinner knives Two 8” dinner forks Six 7 3/4” lunch forks The eight 10” dinner knives are unmarked, the four 9 3/4” dinner knives are marked “1847 ROGERS BROS. ® on one side of the blade, I’ve included 2 photos of this mark. All the forks are marked “1847 ROGERS BROS. 12”, and include the Meriden Britannia circular mark after the 1847 Rogers mark. I’ve included 2 photos of this mark, as well. Based on the marks on the forks, I date these pieces between 1904 and 1908, and made at the highest plating grade offered during this time. As mentioned previously, this set came from an estate, the pieces have been gently used and cared for. Condition is good to pristine! The eight 10” dinner knives have shiny blades without marks, I believe these are replacement blades. The four 9 3/8” knives show normal fine surface scratches and a bit of discoloration on the blades. All the forks show expected nicks and dings on the times, and varying amounts of heel wear on the back. The left times have worn down slightly, a common occurrence with antique silverplate forks. Aside from the expected fine surface scratches from gentle use and care, there is no other wear. No reserve!
