The National Toothpick Holder
Collectors' Society (NTHCS) promotes and supports the collecting of toothpick holders, and
provides education for both members and non-members by providing research, written documentation,
new articles, and by participating in other collector-related events. NTHCS is open to anyone
interested in the collection, research, and preservation of toothpick holders.
The
Toothpick Bulletin is the official publication of the National
Toothpick Holder Collectors' Society. Members receive 6 issues per

The
Bulletin, edited by Marion Carrison, Mankato, MN, features a
variety of informative articles related to toothpick holder
collecting - identification of patterns, comparing old with new,
reproductions, questions and answers, ads for buying, selling or trading,
news from members, new discoveries, etc.
The Annual Convention is held each August at different locations
throughout the United States.
