Vintage 1847 Rogers Bros Daffodil Silver Plated Fork, Spring Daffodil Pattern

“1847 Rogers Bros” was actually a trademark used starting in 1862. There were many Rogers names used during the time period in silver making as well. Some were relatives but many were just anxious to get their brand recognized. In 1862 Meriden Britannia Company bought the hollowware division, tools, and dies from Rogers Brothers Mfg. Co. Many independent silversmiths joined together with that shop to form International Silver Co that became the world's largest manufacturer of silverware. Rogers 1847 became the trademark of that new firm. While the firm was a manufacturer, its real genius in my opinion was its marketing. They designed and developed silverware patterns on a yearly basis that people wanted on their tables and wanted to give as gifts at weddings and many other occasions. The firm also used the top advertising medium of the time, magazines with great new colors, to push these products. Silverware patterns such Daffodil became well-known names in households of the mid-twentieth century. Thank you for considering my listings! 🌿 I ship the same day so you can get your goodies fast.
