Antique Hotel Oakland, Oakland, CA Serving Platter

Scarce antique silverplated platter from the Hotel Oakland in Oakland, California. Originally constructed between 1910 and 1912 with funds exceeding $3,000,000, the block-square hotel became a prominent social center during the next decade and was a control point on the Lincoln Highway. Presidents Wilson, Coolidge, and Hoover were guests at the facility, as were other celebrities, including Amelia Earhart, Sarah Bernhardt, Jean Harlow, and Mary Pickford. It closed in the 1940s, but the building is still in existence.

The platter bears the hotel's name and crest in the center. It has polished up beautifully with a lovely patina.

It measures 13-1/2" by 9-1/2". Excellent condition with some tiny dings and light surface scratches.

A gorgeous, rare piece of hotel silver.
