Filed under: Collectibles — Tags: , , — countryjoe @ 9:00 am

Added some neat vintage pin back buttons to the shop recently, Roy Rogers buttons that were put out by Grape Nuts cereal in the 1950’s, some buttons with universities Yake, Rutgers etc. which I seem to remember from about same time. A Polka Dottie button from the Rootie Kazootie Club and lots of others from that era including Hopalong Cassidy, Boy Scout related etc. Pin back buttons can make an interesting collection, small and affordable. Many companies used them as advertising premiums etc.

See ya, Country Joe

Advertising Swizzle Sticks, Drink Stirrers

Filed under: Collectibles — Tags: , , — countryjoe @ 8:34 pm

A neat collectible that doesn’t take a lot of space, advertising drink stirrers or swizzle sticks. Some are made of solid glass, some hollow glass tubes with paper advertising inside. You also have the normal plastic type and at times you come up with some odd types. Guess you could collect them anyway you want, by towns, cities, states, color, style etc. Easy to store just fill up drinking glasses or other bar glasses. With a little ingenuity you could frame them or mount them under glass.






We have several different advertising swizzle sticks in stock.

A few non-advertising glass solid color swizzle sticks also. They can be found in many colors such as cobalt, different shades of greens, amber etc.

See ya, Country Joe
