Antique Customs & Excise Walking Cane
This antique walking cane features a distinctive bone handle, intricately carved and shaped for comfortable grip. The shaft is dark wood, and a sterling silver cuff adorns the transition between the handle and shaft, likely bearing hallmarks indicative of its origin and age. This cane is believed to have been used by customs or excise officials, a testament to its historical significance and unique design.
Condition & Collectibility
The cane exhibits signs of age and use, with some wear to the bone handle and minor imperfections to the shaft. Despite this, it remains a fascinating piece of history, appealing to collectors of antique walking sticks, historical memorabilia, or items related to customs and excise. The presence of the sterling silver cuff adds to its value and authenticity, making it a desirable addition to any collection.
