Description
In the 1950’s, 1960’s and early 1970’s plastic swizzle stir sticks were popular. Nowadays all you get is a straw if you are lucky. Patrons were encouraged to take the swizzles as a way for them to spread the word and advertise the venue. As time goes by these relics will continue to grow in value.This lot includes 34 swizzle stir sticks from 20 different cities in Connecticut and Rhode Island. What makes this set valuable is that all but one have
been
closed, abandoned, demolished, repurposed or gone bankrupt!!
