A 200 piece set $10,000 if infact silver! At least this is what I found online
-
(This imprint continued to be used even after Meriden Britannia was absorbed by International Silver, which was formed in 1898, by the merger of many smaller Connecticut companies, including Meriden Britannia Co., Rogers & Bros., and Wm. Rogers Manufacturing Co.)
-
The manufacturers of the Rogers lines kept quality up to a high standard, and as a result, the Rogers trade-mark was solidly established in the public mind; Practically all the high grade plated silver sold in America in those days carried the "Rogers" name and was made by the Meriden Britannia Company and six or eight other Connecticut firms. After its acquisition by Meriden Britannia, the hallmark was generally accompanied by a Meriden Britannia imprint within a tiny circle.
-
About the Manufacturer and the 1847 Rogers Hallmark: The famed Rogers brothers began America's first successful silver-plating operations in Hartford, Conn., in 1847. The Meriden Britannia Company acquired the right to their hallmark (1847 Rogers) from the original Rogers brothers. The 1847 Rogers Bros. mark was used continually by the Meriden Britannia Company from the time of its own formation in 1862.

Hey 101, that is a really cool find, usually things like that are found broken! Looks like you have a cool colection of stuff I saw in the background!

It looks silver plated beacause of the rust on some parts of it.

Interesting....

I found this online: The Meriden Britannia Company was formed in 1852 in Meriden, Connecticut. .According to their 1878 catalogue, the company won a first place medal at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philad, PA for the "large variety of silver plated white metal hollow ware, of excellent quality and finish." They were one of the original companies that joined together to form the International Silver Co. in 1898.
So it looks like it's from 1897 or earlier. Nice find!
