The Munster: US$99
The origins of the Munster Market Stick probably lie in the city of Cork home of Irish Distillers who, incidentally, not only make very fine whiskey but are one of the only distillers left in the world to still make whiskey barrels.

Unfortunately, all workshop crafts from stick making to cooperage bid to become lost arts unless things change which I find very sad.  It always amazes me that you can get a pilots license to fly an aeroplane after a couple of days flying time but to make anything as useful as a good barrel takes an apprenticeship of 5 years.
