A wonderful gift for the swizzle stick collector, the Memphis enthusiast, the Peabody loyalist, or anyone who loves the wonderfully specific stories that small objects carry.

The Peabody Hotel in Memphis is famous for many things — but nothing quite as much as the ducks. Since 1933, a family of mallards has marched daily through the Peabody lobby to the lobby fountain, accompanied by the "King Cotton March" — one of the most beloved and eccentric traditions in American hotel history. Swizzle sticks from landmark hotels are among the most sought-after by collectors, and the Peabody's duck is one of the most recognizable icons in the category.
