The original spoon-shaped plastic McDonalds Coffee Stirrer / spoon from the 70's & beyond. Eventually, they were recalled and re-configured to a flat spoon shaped surface because of their reported use as cocaine spoons. They subsequently evolved into a narrow, flat stirring end as they are now, and lengthened.
This is quite the collectible! My mother saved these stirrers. I just now looked them up! There all worth about $3-$4+ each, except the hand blown glass, I do not know, There is Pan Am, Show Girls from Harrah's, and various others. The Mr. Bartender I got at Thrift store last week for $2.50. They are from the 60's and 70's. The music liquor bottle plays "How Dry I Am" when you pick it up spring is set free and music starts. It is from the 1950's.
