<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 9783445, member: 13430"]Is it possible to determine a date range for a 5 piece sterling tea set by F.B.Rogers based on the style and mark? There is also a 6th piece (not sure what it's for) with the set that's by a different maker. All the pieces are in anti-tarnish bags by B. Altman, Fifth Ave (NY), which was a luxury department store where I suspect these were purchased. Their Fifth Ave store operated from 1906 to 1989.These are all family pieces that have been handed down. I'm hoping to determine which of two families it came from, and the date could help with that. Just after I posted this, I discovered from a fashion site that by the 1950's and later, B. Altman was using a script font for their label. The block font was earlier. That may narrow the date range a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]484004[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484005[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484008[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
