Oneida sterling flatware had a mark with a "cube" on the left side of the name. According to my reference, it is "The silver cube. Our silversmiths' mark of excellence," and was used since 1965. The cube is apparently a mark of excellence. (American Sterling Silver Flatware, by Maryanne Dolan.)
Oneida offers several child friendly flatware sets, as does Ginkgo.
