"F. B. Rogers Silver Co. was a silversmithing company founded in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts in 1883. It was acquired by Edmund W. Porter and L.B. West, who incorporated the company and moved manufacturing operations to Taunton, Massachusetts in 1886. For several years, the company was known as West Silver Company, which it absorbed sometime before 1896, and produced silver products for the William Rogers Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut. About 1904, West and Porter retired and sold the company to William Davison, Carleton A. Woodward and H.E. Nearing, who changed the company's name back to F.B. Rogers. In 1955, it became a division of the National Silver Company. It was then bought by J.C. Boardman in 1985. The company used many different marks over the years. One of them is a crown with the number 18 at the left and 83 at the right (for 1883)." (Source: Wikipedia / Silver Collection)
