so ...though there have been threads in the past that have dealt with current or wanted TIKI swizzle sticks I thought I'd start a new and more comprehensive one to showcase examples in existance. |

Tikiville, if you haven’t seen or don’t have Tiki Quest yet it has 3 full pages with some of the best vintage swizzles. There are also some great swizzle shots sprinkled throughout The Book of Tiki and Tiki Modern.* Here are some swizzles that I don’t see very often ~
I know in this post "Swizzle Enthusiast" Bosko says the Hawaiian Village of Tampa “borrowed” their amazing swizzle stick design from the Hilton Hawaiian Village logo. I'd really like to know where the lumpy little guy came from. *If you already know this or already own these books than nevermind. |

What is on the Waldorf Swizzle? Is it a guy playing a drum? I've never seen one up close. |

Bora Boris, Nice swizzles, as usual. The Tahitian Lounge at the Waldorf Hotel used the Leeteg drummer painting as its logo for Menus, matchbooks, and now apparently swizzles. Here are some photos posted by Taboo Dan. DC |

DC is, of course, right! Here's a close up of the drummer (a bit blurry...) with the matchbook for comparison: [ Edited by: Brandomoai 2009-11-28 12:50 ] |

Unless I am looking in the wrong place, has there ever been a "Swap Shop" or "Tiki Central Trading Post" If so please let me know where this is. Is this what the TIKI Market Place is supposed to be used for? I still think it would be useful to have an area where we can post smaller items like swizzles, postcards, matchbooks and offer these for trades with other TIKI Central members. I know that I have been searching for a couple swizzles for a while and likewise there may be individuals that are looking for swizzles that I may have. Member can PM each other after that and once a deal has been reached just remove the post. I think all I am doing is restating TIKIVILLE's original idea, but what I don’t know is what is available for trade and what is simply a displayed collection |

Hey- This seems to be the most current swizzle thread but it petered out 7 years ago. I just picked up a green version of that Tropicana swizzle above and a bunch of black ones from the Hawaiian Village Tampa. Is there a newer thread I'm missing that I should post them to or is this it? |

This is the Swizzle thread I most recently recall but its focus is on newer ones: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=30293&forum=5 I say you post your Tropicana in this here thread as it deserves some rejuvenation. |
