INTERNATIONAL SILVER COMPANY

HISTORY AND MARKS

The international Silver Company was formed in 1898 by various independent New England silversmiths that joined themselves together to form a company that became the world's largest manufacturer of silverware. The International Silver Co. was organized with an authorized capital of $20,000,000 and included the following companies each of which had won a place for itself in the silver world...ROGERS CUTLERY CO.,...

International Silver Company and its factories were active in the whole Meriden-Wallingford area becoming possibly the larger center for silver craftsmanship in the US. The peak of the production was reached in the late 1930s. The production of sterling hollowware continued until 1976 while the silver plated hollowware business was sold to Oneida Silversmiths in 1981.

Besides the marks bearing its own name or the name of one of the companies organized in the International Silver Company, the silverplate production was marked with a wide array of trademarks:...R.C.CO...

The International Silver Company was sold in 1984 to Katy Industries Inc. changing its name to Wallace International Silversmiths, Wallingford, Connecticut. This firm markets International Sterling flatware and silverplated flatware under various trademarks (e.g. 1847 Rogers Bros, International Deepsilver,). In 1986 the business was purchased by a subsidiary of Syratech Corporation and continues its activity ^[2]
