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.

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, Rodgers nickel silver is silver plated. In fact, 99 times out of 100, sterlingware (sterling silverware, platters, and tea sets) are marked "Sterling", "Ster", or "925". Other silver markings also indicate silver plate, such as "Community Silver", "Oneida", and "Triple Silver". Visit the link below to learn more about various silver markings.
"Sterling silver" refers to the purity of a particular silver object - specifically, sterling silver is 92.5% silver.
The value of Oneida Heirloom sterling silver flatware can vary significantly based on factors such as the specific pattern, condition, and market demand.

No, sterling silver is a type of silver alloy that contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. Therefore, sterling silver is also referred to as 925 silver due to its composition.
I have a full set of WM A. Rogers AA heavy Oneida LTD. Flatware... It says on the back of the knives "STAINLESS". I hope this answers your question. I have a similar set of flatware and the "Stainless" on the knife means the blade is stainless. However, the handle and other parts of set could be stainless or silverplate. WM A Rogers did mostly silver plated flatware, not sterling silver. If it tarnishes it is most likely silver-plated.
Oxidized silver is not necessarily sterling silver but sterling silver can be oxidized. Oxidation is a finish on silver, otherwise known as tarnish. Sterling silver can tarnish and silver plate can tarnish, too.
Hi,silver plating over sterling silver is not real sterling silver.Sterling silver is a unique blend of silver and usually copper. It contains 92.5% silver, that is why the number on sterling silver jewelleries and other stuff is 925.
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.)
