 Natural Wood Presentation (8245)
This cane clearly illustrates again the need for some to have huge canes. The handle is over 4 and the shaft at 3+. With the 4 ferrule I would date this between 1820 and 1850. The plaque says it was presented to Sam Newton at the Imperial Hotel in Stockport. I looked up Stockport on the map and it is in a tourist area in the middle eastern part of England,south of Manchester. Some would say its not a very pretty cane, but its character and size more than make it beautiful to me. I have seen a lot of canes in auction catalogs and descriptions for sale use the word massive. I would call any cane less than a 3 handle and a 2 shaft large not massive. Massive has never been defined.
