1847 ROGERS BROS
Rogers is a recurrent name in American makers of coin,
sterling and silverplate ware. There is a great confusion
about the firms bearing this name. The number of
companies using the Rogers name is countless. The men
managing the various "Rogers" companies sometimes
were linked by family relationships but often this was not
the case. Lots of companies with this name were created,
merged, separated in an endless succession of intertwined
relationships. In 1862 Meriden Britannia Company bought
the hollowware division, tools and dies of Rogers Brothers
Mfg Co (incorporating Rogers, Smith & Co). The production
of the '1847 Rogers Bros' line continued under the direction
of William Rogers and in 1865 the plating shop was
transferred from New Haven to Meriden and merged with
Meriden Britannia Co in 1866. In 1898 Meriden Britannia Co
and various other independent New England silversmiths
joined themselves together to form the International Silver
Co that became the world's largest manufacturer of
silverware. Rogers 1847 became a trade mark of the new
firm.
