 Perfume Bottle In Umbrella (8623)
You don't see many all black umbrella handles in carved wood. It feels like a mourning umbrella, yet I'm not even sure something like that exist, as I've never seen anything written about them. I've just decided to label this one a umbrella carried by a women whos husband had passed away. My proof is that they wore black dresses, black coats,and black hats. I'm now going to look for all black umbrellas to see how many there were. What makes this one collectable is the perfume bottle. Even though she was in mourning, she wanted to smell good, and had an umbrella cane custom made to help her.
