1900-1925 Rogers REAL STERLING SILVER Candlestick Holders

EACH ITEM CONTAINS A LITTLE OVER AN OUNCE OF STERLING SILVER-CASED OVER STRUCTURE AND WEIGHTED DOWN WITH CONCRETE!!! not resin that was after 1930's and plated silver-these are real and older.
Made by the International Silver Co. who acquired W.Rogers in 1898. Rogers and his brothers were one of the many silversmiths in the 1800's "Connecticut Silversmith Clan". The silversmiths were all over in towns like Meriden, Middletown, Hartford, And Wallingford. This was a unprecedented formation at the time in Connecticut (early 1900's) that included these companies: Meriden Britannia Company, Meriden Silver Plate Co., Middletown Plate Company, C. Rogers & Brother, Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co., Simpson Nickel Company, Watrous Manufacturing Company, and the Wilcox Silver Plate Co. In Hartford, the following silver companies also became part of the corporation: Barbour Silver Company, Rogers Cutlery and William Rogers Manufacturing Company. Other Connecticut companies that became part of the corporation also include Holmes & Edwards Silver Company in Bridgeport; Derby Silver Company in Derby; Norwich Cutlery in Norwich; Rogers and Brothers, and Rogers and Hamilton in Waterbury. ISC still used the Rogers name on their vision of sterling silver products, and in the early 1900's they designed this candlestick holder as well as thousands of other products. ISC continued to make REAL STERLING SILVER items until around 1925 under Rogers name and Anchor Emblems on both sides. After, they went plated silver and ceased sterling silver production. Household sterling silver was sold by most shortly after 1925 during the Great Depression (1929-1935). When the USA entered WW2 silver was mostly rationed making these RARE in silver and in timeline...GREAT FIND. It is important to know....W.M Rogers mostly made sterling silver flatware beginning in 1847 until International Silver Co. acquired them in 1898....anyone that is selling these online and stating that they ARE made by Rogers in the 1800's is misinformed...BEWARE!!!
ISC went on to be one of America's top silversmiths companies until they stopped manufacturing in 1981. After ISC 's departure America started turning to Jewelry in the 1980's to fill the silver lust and fell in love with a TEXAS silversmith. Thank you and RIP James Avery.
