Sterling will have the word "sterling" or a number stamped on the back or bottom. Never use anything but a good silver polish to remove tarnish--some of those that promise to be fast or easy will pit the finish.
Sterling silver is .925 silver with a .075 additive, usually copper. Sterling made in the USA after approximately the 1850's always has a sterling mark. It may say Sterling. It may be.925 or show the fraction 925/1000. If it does not have this mark it is not sterling. It can also be tested with an acid to determine its content. This should only be done by a professional.
