"The William Rogers Manufacturing Company was first organised in 1865 by William Rogers and his elder son William Rogers Jr (the other sons Asa Jr. and Simeon were stockholders) and Thomas Birch. The 1846 (anchor) ROGERS (anchor) trademark was used for about two years (c. 1865-1867) (Later the trademark was used by International Silver Company.) In 1872, when the William Rogers Manufacturing Co was incorporated, the Rogers were no longer associated to the firm (but later F. Willson Rogers, younger son of William Rogers, entered in the firm as Secretary). In the 1880s the firm had a bitter controversy with William Rogers Jr. about the right to use William Rogers name. In 1898 the firm became part of International Silver Co, who continued to use their marks." (Source: Silver Collection / Silver and Silverplate - Blogspot)
