Hi. When the word quadruple appears within a hallmark what does it exactly mean? I have a rogers smith & co wall plaque. I assumed it might be silverplate but others say its copper . Can quadruple mean either one?

Thanks Angie....

Quadruple is intended to reflect the number of layers of silver plating that is deposited on the base metal. The base metal can be copper or copper alloy, i.e. brass or nickle silver. "Quadruple" would be better than "triple" and so it would last longer.
Quaduple is a term to identify the quality of the silverplate.
