1948 Remembrance – 100 Years

By silver

1948 Remembrance silverplate patternIn 1948, 1847 Rogers Bros./International Silver Co. introduced the Remembrance silverplate pattern to commemorate 100 years of production of its silverplate line. Enormous amounts of Remembrance flatware and holloware (aka hollow ware) were produced in the late 1940s – early 1950s. Just after WWII, thousands of soldiers were getting married and International heavily advertised to these newlyweds.

Duncan & Miller introduced the etched glassware pattern “Remembrance” to match the silverplate pattern.

Some flatware and holloware pieces are harder to find because they were produced in fewer quantities, such as punch ladle, napkin ring, wood salad set and candelabrum.

The following holloware images are from a 1950s International Silver catalog; and the etched glassware is from a Duncan & Miller catalog.

    I have the Remembrance Flatwear and was wondering the value of it. The pieces I have are: 8 pieces of( 9 3/8″ knives; 7 1/2″forks: 6 3/4″ dessert forks; 6 1/8″ teaspoons; 4 1/2″ demitasse or coffee spoons) I also have the gravey ladle; 9″fruit spoon; meat or serving fork and 4 – 8 1/2″ serving spoons.

    I also have a large berry spoon in original case with a 75th Aniversary label on the case.

    If anyone could give me a value on these I would appreciate it

    I recently found a set of the Remembrance salt & pepper shakers. Do you have any idea how I can determine the value of them? Please email me, if you have any suggestions. Thank you in advance.
