"[Established in 1866, C. Rogers & Bros.] were not known as makers of tableware, but devoted most of their production to small articles, including casket hardware. In the mid 70’s they began making silver plated tableware... The factory was taken over by International Silver in 1903, and all patterns and lines carrying the C. Rogers & Bros. trademarks were dropped."

— Edmund P. Hogan in An American heritage: A book on the International Silver Company (1977), p. 168.

"[C. Rogers & Bros.] had a novel display. It included the big case shown at the Centennial exposition, containing 700 pieces of flat ware, arranged on a black velvet background. The center piece was of fancy ladles, pie knives, crumb knives, berry spoons, sugar tongs, etc., radiating from a common center. There were knives, nut picks, etc., in another compartment, and spoons and forks occupied the third. The casket trimmings were displayed in a separate case. The case looked well, with its labyrinth of casket handles of silver and gold, silk and plush, plain and lettered, and all undertakers’ supplies. The firm presented each visitor with a souvenir in the shape of a leather pocket case, lined with plush, and containing a fruit knife and after dinner coffee spoon, attached with a ribbon. It was accompanied with a card, containing the compliments of C. Rogers & Bros." (Excerpt from above.)
