Beautifully proportioned and crafted in solid .925 sterling silver, the cup features a refined silhouette with gracefully curved handles and a warm, gilt-washed interior that glows against the polished exterior.

Engraved in striking text "Tull & Gibbs Cup 1904". This piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the promotional culture of the era, when Spokane, Washington’s Tull & Gibbs Furniture Company hosted lively and imaginative events to engage their clientele with a ribbon guessing contest trolley party. The inscription adds not only authenticity but also a narrative richness that elevates this trophy beyond a decorative object into a true conversation piece.

Weighing a substantial 118 grams (4.3 oz), it has a satisfying presence in hand while remaining perfectly sized for display. Measuring 4.75 inches high, 4.25 inches wide, and 2.75 inches deep, it makes an ideal accent for a desk, bookshelf, or curated cabinet of curiosities. Good antique condition with light surface wear and a few small indents. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Whether acquired as a collectible piece of American silver, a nod to Edwardian-era social traditions, or a distinctive decorative accent, this 1904 trophy embodies timeless sophistication, historical intrigue, and enduring craftsmanship. See less
