RARE ANTIQUE STERLING SILVER BIRD HEAD HANDLE VTG WALKING STICK CANE FABULOUS:
$400.00

AN EXTREMELY UNUSUAL ANTIQUE CANE / WALKING STICK. I BELIEVE THIS AMAZING PIECE DATES TO THE 19TH CENTURY. THE WONDERFUL STERLING SILVER HANDLE / KNOB IS FORMED AS THE HEAD OF A BIRD AND WITHIN THE BIRD-HEAD ITSELF IS DEPICTED 2 BIRDS NESTING IN A HOLLOW TREE AND OTHER TREE & LEAF MOTIF. THE SILVER BIRD-HEAD IS HALLMARKED WITH A DIAMOND SHAPE (shown in photo). THE BODY OF THE CANE IS MADE OF WOOD AND IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION, A FEW SMALL NICKS. THE FULL LENGTH ON THE WALKING STICK IS 35\"1/4 INCHES INCLUDING KNOB. VERY LITTLE WEAR, NO CRACKS. THE VERY BOTTOM IS WOOD, BUT A BITTER DARKER THAN THE SHAFT, SO PERHAPS AT SOME POINT THERE HAD BEEN A TIP COVERING IT. PLEASE E-MAIL QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
