Above, advertisement featuring actress Ginger Rogers for 1847 Rogers Bros. (International Silver Co.) in LIFE magazine (10 June 1940, p. 40). For more information, see the listing below.

"In November of 1862, an agreement was made with Meriden Britannia Company for the three Rogers [Asa, Simeon, and William] to come to Meriden to superintend the manufacturing of their famous silverplate. The trademark to be used was "1847 Rogers Bros." and this was the first year the numerals "1847" were used with "Rogers Bros." [In 1898, Meriden Britannia Company became part of the International Silver Company].

— Edmund P. Hogan in The elegance of old silver plate and some personalities (1980), (pp. 167-68)

Are you looking to identify an 1847 Rogers Bros. silverware pattern? If so, then we highly recommend initially looking at a 1947 advertisement showing patterns from 1847-1941. Many other patterns are illustrated in advertisements, online and listed below.

Also, to see a range of adverts showing Hollywood celebrity endorsements of 1847 Rogers Bros. cutlery, linked and online, scroll down to the listings for 1937-45 advertisements. For adverts showing models featuring fashion design, see 1946-48 advertisements. Throughout this era, the advertisements promote International’s Silver Theater radio program in Hollywood broadcast on CBS, and Ozzie & Harriet.

"MERIDEN BRITANNIA CO. (THE)
In the year 1852 Messrs. I. C. Lewis, L. J. Curtis, W. W. Lyman, H. C.

The officers of the new venture at that early period were Isaac C. Lewis, President, and Horace C. Wilcox, Secretary and Treasurer. The following summer George R. Curtis was made Treasurer, a position which he has occupied ever since. These gentlemen and Dennis C.

From a moderate beginning the plant of this Company has increased until its floor surface covers over eight acres of space. It is one of the representative establishments of its kind in the world. The present officers of the Meriden Britannia Co. are: H. C. Wilcox, President; I. C. Lewis, superintendent; George H. Wilcox, Secretary; George R. Curtis, Treasurer; George M. Curtis, Assistant Treasurer, and George Rockwell, Auditor. H .C. Wilcox has been for years the chief executive officer. Capital $1,100,000. Manufacturers of "1847" Rodgers [sic] Bros.

DESIGN MERIDEN:
On 1847 Rogers Bros. - 1: designs in collections, etc. | 2: design catalogues, etc.

For thorough 1847 Rogers Bros. research, consider reviewing the Meriden Britannia Company historical documentation page, as 1847 Rogers Bros. was integrated into the company and potentially any Meriden Britannia source mentions them in some way. The same applies to the International Silver Co. after 1898.
