Bird Handle & Twin Snake Cane-C. 1875-1910-A great, old cane with a wonderful, old finish and exceptional use of natural shapes in wood. The handle has been carved in the shape of a bird and has also been inked to look like a bird. On the shaft are 5 carved butterflies and snakes. What is unique is that there is 2 upper parts of snakes, not only 1 lower part of a snake or a two head snake. The best old crackle finish that one likes to see, 1" metal ferrule-H. 9"-O.L. 37"-$400-$600
