Tried searching the over grown brush covered homesite and didn’t find much.
This fork that I have not been able to date. And what appears to have been some sort of cover/cap.

Nice looking Saves there. The cap piece, I'm wondering if it could have been a plug or stopper for a canteen. A cork would have been attached to the stem piece and inserted into the neck of the canteen. The loop on top of the cap, would have had a small chain or a piece of leather attached to the loop and the other end attached to the side of the canteen to prevent the topper from being lost. Just a thought.

Interesting theory.

The multitude of variations on ‘Rogers’ marks have various dates arising from members of the family (and those not directly related) operating solo and in partnerships that were continually created and dissolved, which are not well-documented. Some of the ‘plain’ patterns are also not well-documented.

W.F. Rogers was active in Meriden Connecticut during the late 1800s to early 1900s and, for flatware with that specific ‘W.F. Rogers Mfg. Co.’ mark where patterns can be dated, they range between c.1884-c.1901.
