The company was founded in 1873 as Racine Silver Plate Co. in Racine, Wisc. The plant burned in 1882 and was relocated to Rockford, Ill. as the Rockford Silver Plate Co. In 1925 Raymond Sheets bought the company and changed the name to Sheets-Rockford Silver Plate Co. At some point some of the Rogers brothers bought the company and I suspect the “1875” is a Rogers addition similar to their “1847” on plated flatware, i.e. to make new stuff seem old…the company operated until the mid-50s.
Please take note of final pic ... there is a small dent that I missed at first ... Mom pointed it out to be.... she had cleaned it.
