Verbatim from the first edition of the Big Cookbook.

Large olives are pitted and filled with a piping bag: salmon butter (60 g butter + 60 g strained smoked salmon), alternatively paprika butter (butter, paprika, wine/stock) or caviar butter (caviar, cream, butter), or chicken/game purée. Chilled and served at room temperature. Erken 1914.

Stuffed olives were among the small, elaborate "arrangements" that decorated cold buffets and intermediate courses in bourgeois kitchens. Erken gives several variants of butter filling: salmon butter, paprika butter and caviar butter, as well as purées.
Remove the pits
Remove the pits from the olives, either by cutting the flesh away in a spiral or with the help of a corer.
Make the salmon butter
Mash 60 g of dairy butter and 60 g of scraped smoked salmon finely together and rub the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
Fill the olives
Fill the salmon butter into the olives with a piping bag or a paper cone.
Chill and serve
First set the olives in the cold so the filling sets, then let them stand at a medium-warm temperature (room temperature) before serving.
Variants
Paprika butter: 60 g dairy butter is stirred with 1/2 tsp paprika, moistened with a couple of drops of wine or stock. Caviar butter: 60 g dried caviar is mashed or rubbed, stirred with 1 tbsp heavy cream and 30 g stirred butter, rubbed through a sieve and finished with 1 tbsp stiffly whipped cream. The olives can also be filled with chicken purée or game purée.
The amount of olives is estimated, "hair sieve" has become a fine-mesh sieve, and the fillings are described in modern words. "Medium-warm temperature" is interpreted as room temperature at serving.
