Pewter Ad in the Baltimore Sun
Scanned in two parts
Promoting the Williamsburg Collection in the late 1970’s
This is an institutional ad (to the trade) to promote the pewter business. It is directed at RETAIL stores
(For period pewter pamphlets, please see the pewter section)
Geary’s Beverly Hills
Fall of 1976
This matches a big promotion by Stieff on
silver sets of 32 pieces or more
Promoting the Pewter again.
This piece is what is called a “doughnut” ad. The retailer has everything there, they
just drop in the company name and the prices. I especially like the comment at the bottom
reminding them to have the newspaper to add the prices. Imagine if they didn’t and they ad went
out with prices of $ 00.00 (would that mean free?)
Ad from Oct. 1976
1986
Dancing Surf Introduction
Dancing Surf was also available in a 18/8 Stainless
Steel version called BREAKERS
The “Table Top” industry was rapidly changing in the 1980s. Kirk Stieff opened a New York office and wanted to develop more high end casual
(non sterling) offerings for the Modern Family of the 1980’s.
