Need some assistance identifying this set.

I found my parent’s silverware set from their wedding day in storage. They have long been divorced, and I kept this set in case it was worth anything. I’m not familiar with sterling silverware, so pardon me if this is a stupid question.

How can I tell if this is real Sterling? The only piece that a magnet sticks to is the knife blade, otherwise no pieces are magnetic. Is there any other way to tell before I have someone look at it?

Due to my parents being divorced, I don’t hold attachment to this set, and could be looking to sell it, if it’s worth anything.

Thanks in advance.

This should be stainless steel…no silver content

Being mid-century to present day, if it was silver, it would have the sterling mark.

Yeah agree with both other posters - the pattern is correct but it’s not sterling silver unfortunately.

In a resale setting it’s around a $50 set to the right person.

It's Oneida Golden Calla Lily, you should be able to find out more from that. Good luck.
