🥜 Mid‑century Mr. Peanut nostalgia

Stir up some serious nostalgia with this original new old stock Mr. Peanut swizzle stick, featuring the classic “Everybody Loves a Nut” slogan running down the stem. 🥃 This 6" design matches documented 1950s Planters bar sticks in pose, slogan, and style, making it a sweet little mid‑century survivor.

🏖️ Atlantic City boardwalk find

These came out of a long‑closed Planters‑era shop on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, saved during renovation instead of being tossed. The famous Planters Peanut store across from Steel Pier operated from the 1930s until it closed in 1978, filling the air with the smell of roasting nuts and shelves of Mr. Peanut novelties. This swizzle stick is exactly the kind of little premium that would have gone home in someone’s pocket after a day on the boards.

⭐ Iconic advertising mascot

Mr. Peanut debuted in 1916 and became one of America’s most recognizable advertising icons, serving as a literal ambassador on the Atlantic City Boardwalk for decades. Because these are true NOS pieces from that era—not modern reissues—the supply only goes down while interest from barware, mascot, and Jersey‑shore collectors keeps going up.
