F. B. Rogers Silver Co. was a silversmithing company founded in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts in 1883. It was acquired by Edmund W. Porter and L.B. West, who moved manufacturing operations to Taunton, Massachusetts, in 1886. For several years, the company was known as West Silver Company.
About 1904, West and Porter retired and sold the company to William Davison, Carleton A. Woodward, and H.E. Nearing, who changed the company's name back to F.B. Rogers. In 1955, it became a division of the National Silver Company.Location
