did rogers ever make silverware out of silver, or was it all plated?

[FatCat]

I have some rogers spoons that are marked IS. Are they silver or plated?

Probably plated.

Rogers made silverplated flatware and holloware. (actually, still does)

no probly about it..they are plated... the IS is more then likely international silver company

I added the "probably" because I think, when Rogers first joined up with IS, they did a few "combination" pieces. (but I don't think it was flatware).

PS - does your pattern match any on the link I sent?

I personally have not seen any that was not plated.

Rodbuster,

Personally - I haven't either - I was told quite awhile back that when they first went with IS, they did some, but marked them with a "948" on them. (though, I cannot seem to find any on the 'net.)
