You should look up your pattern at Replacements.com - they generally give values of the items they are selling there.

    We would have to see pics of the Forks to determine the value.  First point is 1881 Rogers is not the year.  This is a trademark name that was used by Oneida under the 1881 Rogers line.  Long story of the Flatware world, but in a nut shell oneida purchased the Rogers in the last part of the 18th century, not to confuse it with william Rogers it was called 1881 Rogers, the year Rogers was est.  The pattern of the Fork is the most important part of the value here.  Need a good shot of the pattern.  Also 1881 Rogers line was used in the the post 40's era.

Please take your "caps" off, sandramann.  Using all caps is akin to shouting.  Most people do not like to be shouted at.  I heard this post way over in the Midwest and I wasn't even online.
