  • Details:  This swizzle spoon is from the Delawana Inn in Honey Harbor Ontario, Canada, an extremely RARE find.  It's a bright red swizzle with a beautiful open mouth Bass jumping out of the water.  This Inn has a very long history (see a brief synopsis below), before it was named Delawana (in the 1920's), it was was originally opened in 1897 as Victoria House, a fishing camp without electricity or telephones, so the fish on this swizzle is very appropriate.  Manufactured by Payge Manufacturing in Quebec, (opened in 1952 now OOB).  Swizzle sticks make a wonderful addition to use in your bar, or display en masse as decor, and this one has a great story to go with it.  The fish theme plays well for Spring and Summer cocktails.  Great gift for a swizzle stick collector or a fisherman.

In Honey Harbor Ontario, Nathan Nickerson, his wife and two sons, Albert and Charles, established a hotel known as the Victoria House in 1897.  It was really a fishing camp, reachable by boat, without electricity or telephones.  It wasn't until the 1920's, when the  Charles Nickerson, Nathan's son, sold Victoria House to the Grisé family, they changed the name to the Delawana Inn.  The Grise's improved the Inn, by 1935 it had 100 rooms, and even had running water.  It continued as a successful family business until 1996, when it was purchased by a development company from Toronto.  In 2015 the Delawana Inn changed its name to Delawana Resort.
