Welcome new recruit!

Thanks for posting pictures of the Orange spoons - something else I will have to search for.

I've seen orange, and recently....need to follow up

Well, I found this a lot sooner than I had expected.

It is definitely not faded.  It was just made in orange plastic.







The pictures above have too much glare to see the real colors very clearly.



I did get one picture that very accurately shows the colors just as they appear to the naked eye:





Thanks for the heads-up, theripper1985!

Some eBay seller listed 2 Frankenstein spoons separately.  One was listed as being RED and the other was listed as being ORANGE.

Good thing he listed them that way.  It was very hard to see the difference in his auction photos.  The colors were well within what one might expect from lighting changes.  I already had the red spoon.

I never would have thought to look for this if you had not shown yours.  THANKS!

I just recently scored 3 mon-stir sticks on eBay. they were grey and 2 of them had "the haunted house-hollywood" printed on them which was a swingin-hipster night club in l.a. back in the 1960's. i was thrilled to get them for approx $14.00 each... creature, frankie and the mummy. only one other person bid...... I'm sure they are much rarer than the regular grey seeing the night club had them special made....

That's really cool.  I've never seen any with a specific business on them.

Was it printed on the items or were the letters embossed/encised into the plastic?

Pictures, if you got 'em.

will get them up tonight

here are the HAUNTED HOUSE - HOLLYWOOD Mon-stirs

[Monsters For Sale]

Looks like they just stamped the letters on top of the existing embossed words and then applied gold paint.

Weird to have paint on something that would be put inside a drink.

Very interesting.

By-the-way...


Does anyone know if the Mon-Stirs Swizzle Sticks also exist in ORANGE?

Hard to tell on-screen, but are the "white" ones a true white or are they kinda gray in person?

I have about a dozen utensils/stir sticks and all are either red or gray/white.

Because the color is so pale, collectors call them white or gray interchangeably.  In fact, it kinda depends on the light source and the camera which word best describes them.  But the manufacturer describes the spoons and swizzle sticks as being  "Blood Red" and "Graveyard Gray".





So I guess we should try to get in the habit of calling them Gray all the time.

What about the yellow ones?

What about the yellow ones?

No mention of the scarcer Yellow or Orange spoons on the service industry bulk carton.

Are any of the colors mentioned anywhere on the small, party store retail bags?
