IVORY & SILVER DOLPHIN TAU HANDLE CANE c.1870-1930

This striking Victorian-era walking stick has an elephant ivory tau handle capped with a figural silver dolphin. The handle and sterling silver collar together measure 4-3/4 x 2-1/2 inches. The ebony shaft terminates in a 1-1/2 inch metal tip. This cane, which could have been made anytime between 1870 and 1920, has an overall lenth of 33 inches. This walking stick is pictured on page 110 in Jeffrey B. Snyder's book "Cans & Walking Sticks/A Stroll Through Time & lace", published by Schiffer.
