- Lot Description
-Ca. 1880 -Well-proportioned L-shaped blond horn handle with a stretched faux sprig vertical part and a slightly curving hand rest on a slender malacca shaft and a metal ferrule. -When a tiny rosebud push-button beautifully concealed in the silver collar is depressed, a locking device is activated and the handle detaches to reveal an attached, slender and linear tapering forged 12 ½” steel blade. The blade starts angular to extend hexagonal and widely jeweled and wind up with a redoubtable pointed tip. -This cane pushes the limits of what is feasible to the extreme, and, marked by a slim and inconspicuous profile, it makes a perfect and disguised, defense weapon. -The passage of time endowed it with the indefinable and cherished personality of great collectables. -Notable is that stiletto canes come in this quality and good condition at very rare occasions. They were a popular fashion accessory for the wealthy and for upper class men routinely trained in swordsmanship who wished to go armed for self-defense. -H. 4 ¾” x 2 ½”, O.L. 34” $700-$900
