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.

∙ 11y agoNo, 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.

I have a set of Wm Rogers & Son AA in front of me and it is definitely silverplate. So it is not necessarily sterling.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoWm 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 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.

If the environment is free of heavy moisture and corrosive chemicals 316 stainless steel will last 1200 years with out significant decay.
