    Dodge was able to do this because he had developed a workable
    process of bonding gold to copper and other base metals producing the
    predecessor of what is known today as rolled gold plate or gold
    filled. The Providence Jewelry Museum
    http://www.providencejewelrymuseum.com/ has some interesting material
    for sale on this subject.
