1890s Rockingham Hotel (Portsmouth, NH) Golf Club Drink Stirrer

This is a unique 1890s golf club-shaped drink stirrer from the Rockingham Hotel in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Rockingham Hotel was a luxurious establishment started by larger-than-life local hero Frank Jones and which operated until 1973 and was converted into condos and a restaurant. The stirrer reads AT THE SIGN OF THE LIONS on its reverse (the door of the former hotel is still flanked by twin lion statues).

Circa 1890s.

Approximately 6" in length and 3/4" in width.

Nickel-plated steel.

This is from a location collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. ebay VAJX11 LHEX2/11 SLFJX6/14 SeFJX10/15

7+ (Very Fine+): The stirrer shows some small spots of wear and tarnish.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
