A large whale ivory and rosewood “going ashore” cane

Item Details

Description

A great, large whale ivory and rosewood nautical “going ashore” cane. Made of a single bull whale’s tooth, the huge turned ivory handle is 2 1/2” high and 2” in diameter. It is inlaid on top with a 3/4” abalone disc that shows the shell’s brilliant colors. There are two ivory separators along with two of rosewood, above two diamond-shaped abalone eyelets. The rosewood shaft is octagonally configured for 8 1/4” matching the handle and separators, and the configuration ends with scalloped edging. The remainder of the shaft is a smooth taper that terminates with a long, 3 2/3” lined brass ferrule. The overall length is 33 1/4” and the condition is excellent, with the ivory having a fine yellow age patina. It was probably made on America’s West Coast, ca 1840. It is a superb example and certainly of the size and shape to have been a “going ashore” defensive cane. Estimate: $3000-$4000
