ROGERS, SMITH & CO., Hartford (1857-62), New Haven (1862-77) and Meriden (1877-1904)
... organized in 1857... their principle business was hollowware, the company also supplied silverplated flatware, using the designs furnished by others, which they plated, finished and stamped with their trademark. By 1862, Rogers, Smith & Co.... had failed. The Rogers, Smith & Co. was purchased by others and moved to New Haven... When [Rogers, Smith & Co.] moved to Meriden the line was still popular in the trade and consumer was active until 1904 [sic], when it was discontinued. The company was a part of the Meriden Britannia Co. when it was taken over by the International Silver Co. in 1898."
