Everlast "Mixees" Drink Stirrers, 1937-1950
01
Artifact Overview
In 1932, Louis Schnitzer and Nathan Gelfman formed Everlast Metal Products Corporation, producing high-quality, hand-forged aluminum giftware. In an era of growing uniformity via factory production, the "made by hand" aspect of these products held an aesthetic appeal for consumers. Between 1937 and 1955, Everlast created anodized aluminum giftware products -- like this set of stirrers -- featuring vibrant colors and clean lines.
