A swizzle stick is a small stick used to stir drinks. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, stir sticks made of precious metals were created to shake out the bubbles from champagne whose carbonation caused indigestion for some drinkers.
Swizzle sticks became particularly ornate with the advent of themed establishments such as the tiki bar and are sometimes kept as a souvenir or collected.
This vintage swizzle stick is from the year 1978 (Birmingham) and is retractable.
