Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1930s:
Retractable multi-prong mechanism: barware fashion that became popular for champagne in the interwar years.
Engine-turned barleycorn pattern on the casing: mechanical engraving popular on Art Deco accessories.
Impressed 'STERLING SILVER' mark: fineness stamp common on interwar novelty silver items.
Soft wear across the slide and finial: age from gentle handling.

Popularised in the 1920s and 1930s during the height of cocktail culture, silver swizzle sticks were used to agitate carbonated drinks such as champagne or to mix mixed beverages directly in the glass.

Authentic period examples are commonly constructed from sterling silver, silver plate, or early plastics such as Bakelite, often incorporating mechanical sliding parts to protect the delicate prongs.

Authentic silver pieces feature struck hallmark stamps indicating purity, town marks, and makers initials, along with geometric or engine-turned patterns typical of 1930s design.

Small bar accessories can be displayed on a framed silver tray, arranged inside a crystal decanter setup, or positioned alongside period cocktail shakers on a dedicated bar cart.

Clean gently with a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, ensuring cream does not build up inside the sliding mechanical sleeve or damage the internal wires.
