We're talking about walking sticks, that fashion essential of royals, Edwardians and Victorians, symbols of authority in the 17th century, and today a very hot collectible. Ancient man's first cane was a tree branch, used to stabilize himself while walking and climbing and also to defend himself. Since then, walking sticks have been used for both decoration and practicality almost continually throughout history. Through the ages, canes represented many different symbols of power, faith, and magic until their evolution into a fashion accessory in the 16th century. During the height of the 18th and 19th centuries, the style of canes was shaped by changing social and economic conditions. To study these talismans is to gain an insight into the cultures and societies that valued them. The word "cane" comes from ancient times when the shafts of most canes were constructed of bamboo and other rattans of the cane family. Cane became the mostly widely used material to make walking sticks, evolving later into the generic name for the product. The Smithsonian now has a cane that Ben Franklin bequeathed to George Washington, a splendid stick with a gold-headed handle in the shape of a French liberty cap. A more decorative gold knob adorns another historic cane that the Smithsonian does not have. With it, in 1856, Congressman Preston Brooks of proslavery South Carolina beat Senator Charles Sumner of abolitionist Massachusetts almost to death. Sumner took years to recover from the beating; Brooks was expelled from the House and then re-elected. The cane is in Boston, and you can see the dents on its handle. Walking sticks have been with us since Homo sapiens first hacked off a straight branch, to discourage attack or bop a rival on the head. Those distant ancestors doubtless found sticks helpful as well for pointing out a direction HARDWOOD TOBACCO STICK~~~~ BUY WITH CONFIDENCE ~~~~~ WHAT YOU SEE DELIVERED PROMPTLY & GUARANTEED TO MATCH DETAILED DESCRIPTION ~~ SEE OTHER OLD-ONE AUCTIONS FOR RIVED & AND OTHER ANTIQUE STICKS : THE QUALITY OF A ITEM OR PIECE OF FOLK ART DEPENDS ON THE ARTIST , MATERIALS , AND STANDARDS SET OR UNIQUE MEASUREMENT APPLIED TO IT.
