Outstanding “Jackie Robinson” Cane
with the Likeness of the Baseball Great!

c. 1950, Commemorative “Jackie Robinson” Baseball Cane, Choice Extremely Fine.
35.5” long tapered wooden cane with a plastic handle molded into the likeness of baseball great, Jackie Robinson, who broke the “color barrier” in Major League Baseball in 1947, when he was a rookie for the Brooklyn Dodgers. The cane is painted pale green, with a metal tip, and includes the original leather carrying strap. The plastic likeness of “Jackie” has a painted blue cap, brown skin, red lips, and other features, above an unpainted short body, with “Jackie” in raised letters on the back, and two crossed baseball bats and a ball in the front. Cane has very minor wear, and is in excellent condition--the first Jackie Robinson memorabilia of this variety we’ve ever seen!
