Hi Kris. There seems to be a hefty group of collectors of both swizzle sticks and matchbooks out there. You may want to check some of the websites of groups catering to these collectors or you could try an auction house. First, figure out if there are any rare or popular ones among your dad’s collection and then determine what they’re worth via Google and eBay. You’ll find on my blog site some steps for figuring out the value of items.

I am about to begin the final cleaning out of my parents home. One of my dilemmas is what to do with my Dad’s swizzle stick and matchbook collections. That’s how I found this site. Most likely there are thousands of each.

Thanks, Bobby. I’m definitely being educated about the collecting of swizzle sticks. I’d love to hear more about yours.

Sherry, as a lifelong swizzle stick enthusiast I am amazed that more people are not aware of the magnificent collections people such as myself have amassed. I currently have over 44,000 swizzle sticks, and the number is always rising. I personally find swizzle sticks to be the most collectible of collectible items. The type of inner peace I feel when finding a new swizzle stick to add to my collection is impossible to describe. Swizzle sticks can bring an expression of joy to any child’s face, which is why I find it important to educate people on these fantastic utensils.
