A wonderful ebony faux umbrella cane. Fashioned entirely of one piece of heavy black ebony, it has a ball knob handle that is 1 1/2" in diameter. Underneath the handle, there is a simulated flange, ostensibly to open and close the "umbrella". Below that, a long ribbed, folded umbrella is depicted. Another simulated smaller flange and a tapered tip with a simulated ferrule, completes the piece. The overall length is 37" and the condition of this hand-fashioned item is excellent. It is perhaps English, ca 1900, and it is a marvelous, imaginative example. Estimate: $1000-$1500.
