MID 1800s CARVED IVORY HORSE HEAD WALKING STICK
This mid 1800s Victorian walking stick sports an unusual elephant ivory handle carved in the shape of a horse's head. Instead of the horse's head forming the handle, it sprouts out from the short end of the L. The ivory portion is 2-3/4 x 4 inches above a brass collar and a half bark malacca shaft with a spent shell casing for a ferrule---no doubt an old tip replacement and an ingenious one at that. The horse's head is well detailed in the crisply carved teeth, flattened ears, large eyes, and flowing mane and forelock. This antique cane measures 33 inches overall.
