 1899 Portable Desk Set (8414)
The creativity of man never stops amazing me. The person who made this took 3 items made for other uses and made a cane around them. The cane itself is laminated with 20 pieces of various woods. It was then turned on a lathe making the handle teardrop shaped to fit the item that was to be put in the handle, a calendar notebook. Why teardrop shaped, it was 1899 and Art Noveau was in. The items that were chosen for the cane were all the same style, with curvy graceful lines like the cane. The case for the book was hallmarked for 1899 as was the date on the calendar that was in it. The ink well, the same style is marked Unger Bros, and the filigree pen looks just like it.
