Anyone have #silverplate #flatware as their #hobby? Cleaning and sorting a bunch for our #thriftshop and came across what turned out to be a Rogers #oysterfork #RogersPrimrose but every other Rogers Primrose silverplate hit I've found shows it differently. Thoughts? #mysteryitems #oysterfork #cocktailfork #secondhand

We're thinking the answer may lie in the different lines of cutlery manufacturers with Rogers in the name. Rogers & Bro was acquired by International Silver around the turn of the 20th century, so perhaps we should be looking to IS for the "correct" Primrose pattern. Hmm.
