c. 1870 Extensive Antique Glass Cane Collection

GLASS CANES, Collection of Over 70 Different Glass Canes.
Assorted glass canes of every size, color and stripe: drum majorette styles - ranging from 34” to 70”; heavy jumbo sized canes of various colors and sizes; “fused rod” glass canes, and a variety of “candy cane” striped and colored glass canes. Never intended for use as walking aids, these large glass canes were designed as novelty pieces created by glass craftsmen as a way of showing off their artistry.
