 Original After Cane Umbrellas With Bakelite Handles on original stand (8905)
I think the after cane umbrellas are undervalued. They are beautiful and have handles that can never be reproduced. Bakelite ending in 1954 was dangerous to the workers that made it. I love the colors the textures, the quality of workmanship, and for the moment less than $50.00 everywhere. These have some unusual colors, but one thing is missing. Guess Now.
Hand carved figurals, which seem to start at $200. I bought a hand carved red parret with glass eyes this week, everybody I know would cut it off the umbrella and put it on a shaft. It has a purple cloth in a telescoping wood shaft, in mint condition. This is far rarer in this condition than any wood shaft, even snakewood, yet I paid $200 for the entire piece. This is far less than what it would sell for on a shaft.
The holder and all the umbrellas are circa 1930
