The International Silver Company centered in Meriden, Conn. was formed in 1898 combining the efforts of several silver companies. To see a list of these companies, along with links to webpages showing their pre-ISC designs in collections, in exhibitions, design catalogues, and historical documentation, see section "B. ISC predecessors and divisions" on the Design Meriden micro-site homepage.

Are you looking to identify an International Silver Company flatware pattern? If so, for 1847 Rogers Bros., we highly recommend initially looking at a 1947 advertisement showing patterns from 1847-1941. For International Sterling, International Stainless and other 1847 Rogers Bros. and ISC flatware patterns, many are illustrated in online advertisements listed below.
