An antique circa 1910s heavy silver plated oval platter cover from The Hotel Eastman in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Built in 1890, the elegant, 500-room Eastman Hotel was a hub for the baseball community in the early 20th century. Here Babe Ruth flipped a coin to settle his 1921 salary dispute with the Yankees. In 1925, Walter Johnson received a hero’s welcome upon returning to town after his World Series triumph and awed guests on the veranda by pitching on the hotel lawn.

In excellent condition, no damage but there are lots of small surface marks and signs of use. Marked with the hotel crest on the front. Made by Reed & Barton. 

Made to fit a 10” long platter, this dome measures a bit over 9.5” long by 6.75” wide by 3.75” tall.
