 Shelf Grabber that really fits the hand (8526)
I wasn't going to put this one in,because I don't know what to think of it. I have never seen it in any form before. It's aluminum, very well made, with the shape being Art Noveau. It really fits in the hand well. To make it work all you have to do is hold the handle above the ferrule and pull the c shaped trigger. It opens the jaws and will take anything off a high shelf. The shaft is metal and the handle is wood. Art Noveau 1890 to 1910 is during the time they started to make things from aluminum. In those early days it was a very expensive metal. The problem today is, everybody thinks it's a cheap metal, as it is today. The best enameled opera glasses, were the most expensive with aluminum parts. Most would rather have antiques with brass than aluminum.
I've said all that to say this, I'm sure not all the information in this book is correct. The problem with doing all of this myself, I only know what I know. The bad part of that is, if you see a cane that isn't right, it taints the entire book. A lot of the pieces I have put in this book are canes I would like to know more about. Anyone who criticize me or this book, who has information that would make it better is part of the problem, not the cure.
