I have a full set of WM A. Rogers AA heavy Oneida LTD. Flatware... It says on the back of the knives "STAINLESS". I hope this answers your question.
I have a similar set of flatware and the "Stainless" on the knife means the blade is stainless. However, the handle and other parts of set could be stainless or silverplate. WM A Rogers did mostly silver plated flatware, not sterling silver. If it tarnishes it is most likely silver-plated.

ProfessorNo, the AA refers to silver plate - it is a type of quality of plate - sometimes you will see AAA, a higher grade of plating. American silver is usually marked straight out as STERLING or at least .925. Other conutries have their own system of hall marks that indicate sterling.
It is silverplate. W. M. Rogers was a pioneer in modern siverplateing. After his death his sons took over.
sterling
I have a set of Wm Rogers & Son AA in front of me and it is definitely silverplate. So it is not necessarily sterling.
Wm Rogers and Son produced sterling silver cutlery and sterling silver can be identified by putting a drop of nitric acid on it and if it turns green its plated and not sterling.

Is sterling silver heavy?
Sterling silver is not as heavy as pure silver. It is an alloy made of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. The addition of other metals helps to increase the strength and durability of the silver, but it also makes it slightly heavier than pure silver.

Is F. B. Rogers Silver Tray 6377 Sterling?
No. That particular pattern is electroplated silver on a base metal (probably copper). FB Rogers Co. made good quality silver plated products that feels like sterling due to being very heavy and durable. There were only a few patterns made of real sterling. The registered pattern numbers are 118, 142, 144, 149, 164, 250, 400, 700 and 1636. The genuine silver version will have the word "Sterling" stamped on the bottom of each piece. If it doesn't say "sterling," it isn't.

The answer depends largely on demand for the pattern number and the condition of the pitcher. Most FB Rogers pitchers were made of heavy silver plate and sell on eBay or at live auction for $8-40, with the majority selling in the $12-25 range. If you have one of the rare FB Rogers' pitchers made of sterling, it could be worth several hundred dollars. Look for the number (other than 1883) stamped on the bottom of the piece. The genuine silver items carry one of the following numbers: 118, 142, 144, 149, 164, 250, 400, 700 or 1636. These will also have the word "Sterling" stamped on the bottom. If it doesn't say "sterling," it's silver plate.
