Well this one is nearly solved. According to the link above, the mark of "Wm. A Rogers" was used as early as 1897, and clear through 1978 with Oneida ownership.

And based on the similar pattern of the other posted spoon from the late 1800s, I would say anywhere from 1897 - early 1900s is accurate.
