Like most of the obsolete appliances of daily life, the backscratcher, or scratch-back, as it was sometimes called (but not in the 20th century), has become scarce except as a cheap novelty item at discount stores or souvenir stands and it is one of the innumerable objects which attract the attention of the modern collector.”

This right-handed plastic yellow “Itchin' Stick” is a souvenir from Wisconsin Dells, Wis. The backscratchder measures 16” long and has a plastic hanging loop.
