Presented in this lot is a Vintage Rogers Sterling Silver Bud Flower Vase 7", circa 1865-1867. This vase features the "anchor Rogers anchor" trademark used when William Rogers formed the Wm. Rogers Mfg. Co. Rogers is a recurrent name in American makers of coin, sterling and silverplate ware. The best known trademark is " 1847 Rogers Bros ", used from 1862, but lots of companies with this name were created, merged, separated in an endless succession of intertwined relationships. The companies in which one or more of the original Rogers brothers (William, Asa and Simeon) were actively interested, in existence in the 1930s (or at least the brands carrying their name), and the dates they were organized are as follows: Rogers Brothers, Hartford, in 1847; Rogers, Smith & Co., Hartford, in 1856; Rogers & Brother, Waterbury, in 1858; William Rogers Mfg. Co. (Wm. Rogers & Son), Hartford, in 1865; Rogers Cutlery Co., Hartford, in 1871. These concerns, as well as the Meriden Britannia Co. which beginning in 1862 continued the production of "1847 Rogers Bros", are all of the concerns in which the three original brothers have been connected and at various times have become part of the lnternational Silver Co. All three of the partners, William, Asa and Simeon, were in the employ of the Meriden Britannia Co. when they died. This sterling silver bud flower vase is marked on the bottom with the "anchor Rogers anchor" Sterling trademark, Weighted Reinforced 201 66. Through patina, slight dents observed. 7"H, 2.25" diameter base, 2" mouth, weight approximate 76.4 grams.
