Snuff Container Carriage Cane (8464)
The snuff container handle on this 48” carriage cane was made by a watchcase maker and it’s called Repose. I have a watch with the same pattern as this one. They were made from 1700 to 1800. The shaft is ebony with a 4” ferrule, which I think dates it about 1780. I don’t think the shaft on this one is as rare as a Malacca that’s this long, yet gadget canes of this era are all rare. I think the snuff container is rarer than the swords
