- Lot Description
199. German Hiking Cane -Ca. 1920 -The cane is fashioned of an oak branch with an integral crook handle and an iron ferrule and proudly presents 17 beautifully embossed metal badges from various Alpine tourist locations which were obviously visited by its owner over the years. This better example of a quite popular type had clearly been well enjoyed over the years and is praised by a grown age patina. -H. 5 ¾” x 5”, O.L. 34 ¼” -$200-$300 -For similar pieces see Francis H. Monek’s book, Canes Through The Ages, page 265, where he illustrates comparable examples and describes them with the following words: Early in this century while the custom still persisted for all - especially tourists sightseeing in Europe - to carry a cane, it was the practice to obtain a shield from each city, shrine, or famous spa visited and affix it to one’s cane. This was much like what travelers do today in posting city stickers on the back window of cars, or wearing location souvenir pins on their caps and hats, or sleeve shields on jackets.
