Yes, Oneida Community products, particularly their flatware and serving pieces, are made from real silver. The company originally produced silver-plated items, but they also offered sterling silver products. Oneida's sterling silver is composed of 92.5% silver and is marked accordingly. Always check for the appropriate markings to ensure authenticity.
Community silverware is typically not sterling silver; it is often made from stainless steel or silver-plated materials. Sterling silver is defined as containing at least 92.5% pure silver, while community silverware is usually marked with terms like "Community" or "Community Plate," indicating it is silver-plated rather than solid sterling. Always check the markings to confirm the material.

The silverware used in the TV show "Community" is not real silver; it is typically stainless steel or a similar metal, often designed to resemble silver but is actually plated.

WM Rogers Mfg Co, known for its silver-plated flatware and other products, is no longer operating as an independent company.

Collectors may still find WM Rogers items in antique shops and online marketplaces.
First.. are you sure it is Sterling? Onieda made a lot of "silver plated" items, which currently have zero value. The word "STERLING" needs to be stamped on the tray in order for it to be sterling and worth money.
No. Plated is not the same thickness as plated.
The word "plate" is the answer. Community Plate is silver plated and has no silver value but many of the patterns have a collectible value. There is a link in the related links with a list of some of the more popuular Community patterns with links to replacement values.
18krgp stands for 18 karat rolled gold plated, which means it is a jewelry item made of a base metal that is coated with a layer of 18 karat gold. This process makes the item more affordable than solid gold, but it is not considered real white gold. If an item is labeled as 18k white gold, it means it is made of an alloy of gold and other metals such as silver or palladium, with a higher gold content than gold-plated items.
