So that art+knowledge is lost like so much from the mid century, also I doubt a designer now a days would dare to be so interesting. As far as doing new sticks most places are so bottom line oriented that to add 5 cents (for a piece of plastic) to the bottom line of a ten dollar drink is absolutely unthinkable. LOL Tiki this Trade Winds was in Oxnard or at least that was my guess, below is what think they based the design on, the dinnerware is a closer match (to the swizzle) but don't ask me to take a picture and then post it.
