The story of 1847 Rogers Bros., Meriden Britannia, International Silver, and the development of the Vintage pattern.
Lists of the pieces documented, arranged both alphabetically and by shape, for easy identification.

Guidance for distinguishing between similar and confusing pieces.
A listing of "problem pieces" and what we know about them.
