Answer 1

Roger Bros IS 1847 is the markings placed on many silver-plated spoons made by that company. Depending on what your pattern name is, your ring is likely worth in the neighborhood of $10.00.

The '1847' is not a date, but merely what amounted to a brand name for silver plated items. ANYTHING with the word 'Rogers' in it, or 'A1' on it (besides steak sauce) is silver plated. The sterling standard of 925 parts silver per thousand parts metal was invented in England, and was introduced to America, first around the Baltimore area, in about 1865. Before that, many people melted down coins of various sorts. Coin silver is sometimes marked 'COIN' (but often unmarked), and is of lower silver content than sterling, generally around 90% silver (or 900 parts per thousand).

American sterling is almost always marked 'STERLING', or at least '925' or '925/1000'. Foreign silver is generally hallmarked with some symbol, British silver being marked generally with the rampant lion, and French silver with a little head of the goddess Minerva. Much foreign silver that was specifically manufactured to be exported to America was marked 'STERLING' though. Weight can also be a clue. Silver plated items are generally HEAVY compared with sterling, as the base metal weighs more.
