Silverware Patterns::

         I hope all is well with you in blogland. It was a busy week in general for me. Today, we had no school due to the few inches of snow we had over night. Yay for me, I'm not complaining. On my list of to do's for today was to do some research on flatware. Last weekends estate sale finds included: a full set of WM. Rogers premier flatware. Ecstatic about this find since, I've been searching for the President's pattern for awhile now. Home with hot sudsy water and they look shiny and new. Yeah, you can even see the photographer in the spoon pic above.Ha, Ha.
       Country living did an article on: America's Most Popular Silver Patterns in the November issue. Did you see it? Great resource for new collectors just starting to collect silver.
        Although, my everyday set is stainless. I was able to find the markings on the back and research pattern using E-How on the web. Also, I googled : photographs of Rogers Premier. This gave me the information immediately, I was looking for.
       Let's see if I have luck identifying my silver passed down from my Family. I'll post that info. at another time when, I get the facts.
       Do you have plans for this weekend? I'm headed to an indoor flea tomorrow. Early to bed for me.
         Have a great weekend everyone.
