What is the correct length for a walking stick?

1 Answer

To measure a walking stick, the base should be placed a little wider than a foot from the outside of the wearer's shoe. The handle should be at wrist crease height with the elbow slightly bent when standing upright.

There is a nice variety of canes in this early collection and display case. The case looks to be 1800 with wavy original glass. The whole display has a very rich look.
