Quadruple silver plate items are NOT plated four times, they simply were plated with four times as much pure silver, known in the industry as .925, as any other hollowware item. Quadruple silver plate hollowware was some of the highest quality made during the later part of the 19th century.
The Wilcox Silver Plate Co. (1867-c. 1980) was formed in Meriden, Connecticut. From 1865 to 1867, it was known as the Wilcox Brittania Co. In 1898, the company was acquired by the International Silver Company, headquartered in Meriden. After the acquisition, the Wilcox Silver Plate Co. brand continued until at least c. 1980. The factory confined its production to silverplated hollowware which compared favorably with anything on the market at the time. Wilcox Silver Plate Co. designs are in several museum collections across the United States and London.
