From Grider: "Each Topper is hand sculpted by MK Grider he then takes that sculpt and vulcanizes it in a silicone rubber creating a mold. That mold is put into a centrifuge and hot metal is poured into the mold. The metal is cast around a stainless steel rod, that we cut to size and hand sand, securing it into place. Each one is then hand sanded and polished and sent to be plated where it gets a copper, nickel, or brass finish. Once back we patina each one and then polish and coat with a crystal clear enamel!"
This pink plastic swizzle is marked "Lei Vapors Hot Springs". There is a Hot Springs, Arkansas that had a notorious establishment called The Vapors which was a nightclub during the last era of illegal gambling in the city. Upscale entertainment in the style of Las Vegas, Nevada—featuring well-known acts like Edgar Bergen, the Smothers Brothers, and Tony Bennett—distinguished it from many of the rival clubs in the area. However, it's not clear if this swizzle was from there or another similarly named establishment.
This design was produced in several colors as generic Moai swizzles, or branded for various locales. The Moai head has three vertical lines on the chin and there is a small crosspiece of decoration below the head also.
