19thC. Walking Stick With Sterling Silver Horn Simulated Handle American Ca 1880

About the Item

Fine quality hand made craftsmanship to this 19th century Victorian walking stick; hand carved of premium hardwood (possibly pecan), with a continuous twist design. The top is decorated with a firm, hand repousse sterling silver antler or horn simulated pattern with a hand forged thumb recession (marked "sterling" underneath the handle----see image); really well made. Purchaser could polish up the sterling silver handle to its original high luster if desired. I personally prefer the "aged" darkened patina surface, so I have chosen to leave it alone. The original finish is superb with a lovely surface and patina. The mildly tapered shaft ends in the original (often missing or replaced) silver tip decorated in an etched geometric pattern. Comfortable to use and pleasant to look at, this antique American made cane would make a lovely addition to a discerning collection of rare and unusual walking sticks, folk art, or Americana. Dimensions: 34" high x 4 1/2" (handle) x 1 1/4" (shaft)

Sterling Silver Native American Indian Motif "Note Holder" American, Circa 1880
Located in Incline Village, NV
Very rare and unusual piece, a sterling silver "note holder" fronted by an Indian Chief on the front in high relief. A bale on top provides for a necklace and hanging as a decorative piece of jewelry. Other decoration on the front includes a tomahawk and a peace pipe criss-crossed beneath the Indian. The back is plain with a decorative "repousse" floral border, and "sterling" clearly marked in the lower left (see image). It is 2 7/8" high  x 2" wide resembling and in the style of a match safe; probably manufactured by Unger Bros. of Newark, New Jersey, circa 1880, but difficult to observe all of the surfaces because of the frontal "notes" in permanent place. A note holder would have been used to write down reminders and/or notations by the user; the surfaces appear to be a celluloid type material. Condition is excellent with six notes intact; a very slight "crease" to the back side; hardly noticeable (see image). Appropriate Americana for the discerning collector with a Western Native American...
