All Seeing Eye Of God (9102)
This is one of the best hand blown eyes I have ever seen. The texture of the vanes in the iris are amazing. Eyes are not an uncommon subject in canes. The eye in a triangle is always considered the all seeing eye of God, which is usually masonic. Some are considered eye doctors, and others hand carved in wood, folkart. The shaft on this one is all hand carved in a triangular shape, which is considered masonic. It has been said that is how other masons would know someone else is masonic if their cane shaft was triangular. The triangular shaft and eye would leave one to think a mason had it made for him self. I put it under the manufactured catagory because the handle wasn't homemade. Circa 1880
