Measuring Stick. At first this cane appears just that—a 43”long dark wood cane with a small circular cap. Possibly a measuring stick of some sort. However close inspection show scales marked down either length of the stick .Fairly difficult to read due to age (no nicks or knocks) but still decipherable. These are two scales read 0—42 at 1”intervals 0—160 at ever decreasing intervals. It also carries the following markings-- “ J LONG MAKER 43 EASTCHEAP LONDON. (Joseph Long was a very well known active mathematical, optical, slide rules & hydrometer instrument maker who traded at 20 Little Tower St. (1821-84) & 43 East Cheap (1885-1936) London, England,). The relationship between the stick’s two scales is not obvious. However plotting a graph of one scale against the other ( 0-42 vertical and 1-160 horizontally) results in a what appears to be a quarter ellipse. Thus the stick can be used to plot out ellipses of any size required. Possibly use would range from assisting architectural/engineering drawings to setting out arches in buildings to ornamental elliptical shaped flower beds! Thus a very clever item whose use could easily be overlooked. (However any other possible relationship between the two scales is unknown).

This Victorian Telescope walking stick where the spyglass pulls out of the shaft and swivels on it’s attachment to the shaft. The telescope/handle itself is covered in a lovely shagreen skin (possibly stingray by the colour variation and texture). There are nickel mounts above and below the handle. On the top is a threaded cap which when removed reveals a top glass. The shagreen handle screws off the shaft to reveal a fully working telescope.It can be totally removed from the shaft or merely swiveled over at the hinge and used whilst on the stick. The magnification is 4X. In addition to the signature or makers mark on the top of the telescope there is also markings “BTE SGDG”. The nickel mount meets an attractively carved and turned ebony shaft with very good patina in beautiful condition with a lovely tip at the base. This spyglass design is a French patent 1878. The shaft (to base of nickel mount) measures 32 ¼”/ 82cm. The length of the handle / telescope is 5”/13cm .The top of the cap measures 1 ¾”/35mm across and the shaft where it meets themount is 1 ½”/19mm across. The overall length of the stick 37 ½”. (Shagreen -- The word derives from the French chagrin (anxiety, annoyance – a reference to the rasping surface of the leather) In the 17th and early 18th centuries the term "shagreen" began to be applied to a leather made from the skin of a rayfish/shark. Such skins are naturally covered with round, closely set, calcified papillae called placoid scales, whose size is chiefly dependent on the age and size of the animal. These scales are ground down to give a roughened surface of rounded pale protrusions, between which the dye (again, typically green vegetable dye) shows when the material is coloured from the other side. This latter form of shagreen was first popularised by Jean-Claude Galluchat (d. 1774), a master leatherworker in the court of Louis XV of France . It quickly became a fashion amongst the French aristocracy, and appears to have migrated throughout Europe by the mid 18th century).
