Where can I find information about a, possibly, antique hand mirror?

I have a hand mirror which I believe is silver-plated but I'm not sure. It's in an art nouveau style with a raised floral design. Markings include:
WM. A. ROGERS
3.000
PAT APL'D FOR

Does anyone know where I might find more information on this item? I'm not having much luck searching the internet.

I did a search for WM A Rogers, and found a lot of sites from different antique dealers. They want you to pay a fee for them to do a search for you. I'm afraid you will have to find a dealer, and pay for the search.

If you have the time, you can search through page after page of listings on ebay:

How to clean antique silver?

I found an antique art nouveau hand mirror and brush. Would like to clean without damaging. Any suggestions?

There is some cleaning product called Silvo from memory its a cleaning solvent used to remove tarnish off silver ware. There are other brands as well like Tarnoff
