The sport of polo enjoyed much popularity amongst British Army officers, which explains why James Salter was based in Aldershot, home of the British Army. James already had a reputation for repairing polo mallets so in 1883 at 23 High Street, Aldershot, he opened his shop, it still bears the name J. Salter and Sons. He became famous throughout the world for his high-quality goods, leading players would only use Salter equipment. The secret of his success was using only the best materials available and always trying to improve his products. When James retired his sixth child, Sydney, took over the running of the business. The business continued to grow, as did the clientele. The list of Salter's customers was very impressive, and they supplied equipment to high ranking military personnel, Dukes, Maharajas, Princes and Kings, all of it made in the Aldershot premises.

Walking sticks come in many shapes and sizes, and can be sought by collectors. The walking stick has also historically been known to be used as a defensive or offensive weapon, and may conceal a knife or sword as in swordsticks. Around the 17th or 18th century, a stout rigid stick took over from the sword as an essential part of the European gentleman's wardrobe, used primarily as a walking stick. In addition to its value as a decorative accessory, it also continued to fulfill some of the function of the sword as a weapon. The standard cane was rattan with a rounded metal grip. There were very often made of malacca (rattan stems) and showed the patina of age. Types of walking sticks: Ashplant — an Irish walking stick made from the ash tree Devil's walking stick — made from Hercules plant Shooting stick — it can fold out into a single-legged seat Supplejack — made from a tropical American vine, also serves as a cane Penang lawyer — made from Licuala. After the bark was removed with only a piece of glass, the stick was straightened by fire and polished. The fictional Dr. Mortimer owned one of these in The Hound of the Baskervilles Makila (or makhila) — Basque walking stick or Staff, usually made from medlar wood. It often features a gold or silver foot and handle, which may conceal a steel blade. The Makila's elaborate engravings are actually carved into the living wood, then allowed to heal before harvesting. Kebbie — a rough Scottish walking stick...
