11 Vintage Advertising Swizzle Sticks | General Glover Sir-Loin Room Swampscott Red Bull | Plastic Cocktail Stirrers | Drink Stirrers

Every party needs a theme, so how about mid century red bulls from Swampscott? These whimsical plastic cocktail stirrers will bring a smile to all your guests. For those of you looking for a little new England history, Old School Boston Blogspot had this to say about General Glover's:

"Anthony Athanas, of legendary Anthony's Pier 4 fame in Boston, opened the General Glover House in 1957 with the charming Essex Room at the forefront of the classic memories here. The Essex Room was definitely charming because they said so in the promotions. The huge room came across with its everything-but-the-kitchen-sink colonial stagecoach stop scenes including the big fireplace, post-and-beam ceilings and lanterns and copper pots all over the place. The waitresses were such good sports, having to dress up in those long colonial-style dresses and the goofy frilled white caps that concealed 60s and 70s hairstyles."

We couldn't find any information on the "Sir-Loin" room, but the restaurant sounds like a hoot!
