"ORIGINAL ROGERS"

Obviously 1960ish. Most of their similar patterns curve the other way.

 

Try Inspiration. 1960

I wonder how they came up with that. I have a 1932 and 1951 Inspiration by Rogers & Bro which of course are both completely different.

 

Wm. Rogers Mfg Co. I found it first in Davis and Deibel before I went over to replacements to confirm.

 

It's not very inspired to re-use the same name thrice in 30 years

 

International had so many different trademarks to use, even in the Post WWII period that it doesn't really surprise me. Plus remember that each pattern was not "fresh" for very long. The young woman choosing her "patterns" in 1952 had no idea that there was a pattern by the same name 20 years earlier when her mom was doing the same thing.

 

Ya think!! Sheesh - lend them a dictionary!
