A rare Seattle advertising treasure — this silverplate ladle was issued in 1906 as a holiday keepsake from Kreielsheimer Bros., Seattle, U.S.A.
Beautifully inscribed “Compliments of the Season 1906”, the handle proudly bears the name of one of Seattle’s most prominent early 20th-century jewelry and mercantile families. This ornate piece served as a gift of appreciation to customers during the holidays, capturing the elegance of department store promotions of the era.
Condition: Very good antique condition with gentle wear consistent with age, bright polish, and deep relief detail.
This ladle is more than tableware — it’s a slice of Seattle’s retail and holiday history. Collectible as both antique silverplate and Pacific Northwest ephemera.
