If the Oneida silverware pattern you have is fairly new and not discontinued, you can probably take a piece to a nearby department store that carries Oneida flatware and match up your pattern. Having a name for your silverware pattern will help you find replacements.
Search online. If department stores no longer carry your Oneida silverware pattern, do not despair. Thanks to the Internet, loads of information is at your fingertips. Oneida has a great site that helps identify its flatware; it has a flatware pattern identifier.
Visually scroll through the Oneida site's discontinued patterns, or use the identifier. There are places to enter the backstamp, type of metal, type of design and store where purchased. If you're not sure of any of these things, you can leave them blank.
If the Oneida site doesn't furnish your answer, you can check eBay or other online auctions. Use any identifying marks on your Oneida silverware to help search for similar patterns. A more time-consuming method is to search through Oneida listings on Replacements.com.
Once you've identified your pattern, you are set! Find the replacement pieces you need on Ebay or Replacements.com, or put together your own Oneida silverware listing for sale. Knowing the pattern name will make selling much more successful.
