And I cannot recall if that is the same swizzle than Bosko has, his is a different color. But whatever happened with mugs sometimes (like the Tiki Bob's) also happened with swizzles, perhaps: The manufacturer got an order for a logo Tiki item and made it, and then kept the design as a sample for other customers, who then ordered it for their establishment, not knowing it had been branded. Case in point: The Kona Kai Tiki swizzle stick and its many copies. I think I remember seeing a Mark Thomas swizzle, sans Tiki though, just the distinctive type face as a sculpt.
