Rogers Silverplate Tea Set
The underside of the pieces say Rogers Silver Quadruple 672. What does quadruple mean and what does 672 mean? Thank you.

"The most popular misbelief about quadruple-plated silver items is that they have been silver-plated four times over. In reality, the "quadruple" aspect indicates the total quantity of silver with which the object has been plated. Specifically, to electroplate 144 teaspoons, the "standard" silverplate process demanded the use of two troy ounces of pure silver. In contrast, that same number of teaspoons, when quadruple-plated, would be coated with eight troy ounces."
