Label copy

When this mug was purchased by the Museum in 1921, the existence of an Ipswich, Mass. silversmith by the name of Daniel Rogers was not known and early American silver with the "D.Rogers" mark was only associated with Daniel Rogers of Newport. When research published in 1968 revealed the existence of the Ipswich silversmith with the same name, that trend was reversed and today silver with any of 10 different Rogers marks may be associated with the Ipswich maker. Further research is needed to reestablish the identity of the Newport silversmith's work.
