Description
Stunning tortoise shell, bamboo and hallmarked silver walking stick or cane. The silver was assayed in London as shown in the pictures, date letter for 1945 and makers mark for John Cooke, the brother of Charles Cook who worked for Brigg of London. This cane was made for the top class retailer Benjamin Cox, his mark is on the silver with the hallmark. Well figured T bar style shell handle that is comfortable to hold mounted on a beautiful bamboo wood shaft. The extraordinary thing about this cane is it's length, most likely a commission piece at over 40 inches, 103 cm long. The combination of the tortoise shell and colour of the bamboo wood really work well together. Silver collar is plain with only the hallmark and makers marks as embellishment. The ferrule is original and made of brass and steel. Please contact us with any questions you may have.
