Just received this from Rupert:
“May I suggest a photographic essay on swizzle sticks? No text would be required, other than Rich’s recipe for a gin cocktail!”
If everyone who has Q swizzle sticks would photograph them like Larry did and share them with our new Zephyr Editors, Stephanie & Derek, and Rich gives his OK to share his recipe, I think Rupert’s idea would make a fun article for the next Zephyr!

Thanks to all that replied. I wasn't aware of the several different types of Q swizzle sticks. Now that I know what to look for, I'll search more frequently. Thanks to Larry for providing the picture! Those dome sticks will look good in my Bombay Sapphire and tonic.

Recently I've picked up a few Burlington Route swizzle sticks on Ebay. I hope we're not bidding against each other.
Attached (I hope) is a photo of them. I have a rainbow of colors, but i believe there are more.
I have only found sticks with dome cars.

Did the Q have any distinctive swizzle sticks? (preferably from the 50's) I've looked for them on eBay over a period of time without luck. The Santa Fe and Great Northern had some cool-looking ones, and the Union Pacific had a really neat Domeliner stick in the shape of a passenger train. I'm just looking to add a little ambiance to my weekend Gin and Tonics!
