What old Rogers silverware can be worth

Old Rogers silverware is often silverplate, especially 1847 Rogers Bros, but some Rogers-associated flatware can be sterling. The value difference is large, so identify the exact mark and metal before comparing prices.

Recent auction records show Rogers sterling-related flatware selling much higher than many Rogers Bros plated sets, which can be quite modest.
