A bamboo stick 36 ½/927mm long with a decorated brass collar ¾ wide just below the handle. There is also the traditional brass reinforced hole for a wrist strap adjacent to the collar. The top of the handle unscrews to reveal a steel retractable screwdriver. Four blades are held in the steel case. These can be extended by means of a small spring loaded knob.

A bamboo walking stick/cane with a spherical hardwood handle 1 ½”/ 38 mm diameter. This is set on a brass collar 1 ¼” / 36 mm wide. A further brass collar is set at 11 ¾” / 980 mm from the top of the cane handle. The brass ferrule appears to be the original.The handle unscrews to show a brass threaded section that sets into the top collar of the stick. When the handle is removed a cavity is revealed which holds two tiny bottles 1 ¾”/ 47 mm high. As can be seen from the photographs these are marked with various colored paint. Their use unknown.The lower brass collar also unscrews dividing the stick into two sections. The lower section is hollow.The upper section has a smaller diameter shaft 6 ½”/165 mm long attached to it which is a slide fit into the hollow lower section. This shaft has been carved to form five rectangular recesses each containing different colour water paints---white, yellow green, red, and blue. An old artist’s paint brush also nestles in the hollow section of the cane. (Care must be taken in opening this stick as the paint is old, solidified and shrunken and may fall from their recesses. The close fit between the stick sections prevents this when engaged)A most unusual item---hardly practical yet the water paints certainly appear to have been used and somebody obviously went to a great deal of trouble to make it.
This is a nice horn handled cane with a silver collar hallmarked for London 1923 together with the makes mark too faint to read. The handle can be unscrewed to reveal a small sand timer. These were used by nurses and doctors in days gone to measure a patent’s pulse. This glass timer is set in a silver metal case designed to hang from a doctor’s fob or nurse’s chatelaine. Such items sometimes carry a notation ¼ or ½ indicating 15 or 30 seconds timing. Absence of such indicates timer runes for one minute, as this one does. The case is 2 ½”/63mm long (excluding loops) and marked "Viper sheep dips" and "Osmond and Son Ltd Grimsby Eng." This company traded in Grimsby from 1897 to 1976 dealing in health products and animal nutrition.The case cap has a small lug which, to secure it, slides into an L shaped slot in the case. The previous cane owner had a scrap of paper (now unfortunately lost) found in the stick with a reference to M.H.Brighowgate . At first this was assumed to be a person’s name. However a quick check revealed the Military Hospital Brighowgate. A further medical link to Grimsby. Brighowgate Military Hospital in Grimsby, built by the War Office in West Marsh in the northern part of the town, is believed to have opened in March, 1916, closing in 1919. It had accommodation for 120 men, and a large number of patients passed through it. Major C.B. Turner, Major A. Westlake, Captain A. Miller, all of the RAMC, and Dr Grierson, were the medical staff with Miss Muggeridge the matron, and six VAD (voluntary aid detachments) nurses.The overall length is 35.5"/920mm
A rather ordinary looking stick but the handle is of a clever design. The handle is 1 ½”/350mm in diameter and overall 3”/760mm long. The silver coloured metal handle is threaded over the full length giving an appearance of a decoration. The cap unscrews to reveal a blue glass inkwell. This fits snugly onto the handle recess. The bottle is 1 ½”/39mm from cap to base. As the handle top is screwed back on to the handle, it presses down onto the ink bottle top, compressing it to avoid spillage. The brass band on the handle is actually an independent collar screwed onto the handle. This is adjustable. It can be screwed up to meet and tightened on to the handle cap and lock it—the handle-- into place. An additional feature is the complete handle can be screwed free from the stick. This will show a recess in the stick which holds an old silver pen.This is marked “Sterling Silver” with maker’s mark “L&S” The stick is Malacca with the ridge or spine, often called a “teardrop,” running along its length. Original bone ferrule Overall length 35 ¾”/910mm
A simple rosewood stick with a brass section set just below the handle. Two small bolts hold the internals of the stick firmly in place. When these are removed a steel wood saw blade may be withdrawn from the stick sheath. The saw is held firmly in place but can be pulled free if desired. (Possibly for a replacement with different teeth size/pitch?) The saw blade is replaced via a slot in the top of the handle. Before use the bolts are screwed into the shank to hold the saw firmly in place. Length of stick is 37 ½” / 955mm.with attractive patterned hand carvings for 6”/150mm below the brass section. The ferrule has seem some use. Slight bow in stick shaft.
Victorian antique walking stick/cane with a steel measuring tape set in the handle brass top. These were used in Victorian Lawn Bowls Game. Original brass ferrule. Marked on the top “The Taylor Rolph Co Ltd. Mortlake, London”. Also on the side “John Raborn and Sons, Birmingham, England”. The cane has the original ferrule and measures 35”/890mm. Automatic retraction by pushing the side button. Unfortunately this is no longer functioning. Tape can be used but needs to be fed back manually. It will pull out to approx 2 feet. Tapes used in bowls are unmarked as they were, and still are, just used to compare distance between two balls so no increments are necessary. Steel bowling tapes have given way to present day string tapes. Taylor Rolph first started making wooden bowls around 1820 and went on to produce a wide range of accessories for the game of Bowls.John Rabone was a very famous maker of measuring instruments. According to Grace’s Guide was founded in 1784 and still in business in Birmingham] However could not find a present record of this company in an internet search—probably taken over .
An attractive Victorian cane with a concealed telescope. This cane is capped with a silver knob. The handle is brass, black enamelled section 3 ¼”/830mm long. .A hatched decorated brass collar 1 ½” long just below the handle screws down to reveal the spyglass. This can then be swivelled into place. The handle cap screws off revealing the main glass lens. The eye piece has a screw adjustment for focus. Both lens are unmarked and no scratches. All in perfect working condition. Stick carries three gold collars. The middle wider one ( 3/8” /60mm wide) is marked “W.H.H” and gold mark “14k” The ferrule is two part nickel and iron. A slight ding in lens cap and small clip mark adjacent to ferrel. This cane works well. May have been used by a sea captain or used at the opera to watch the show or to discreetly spy on other patrons. Handle is 1 ½” ‘19mm diameter, overall length of stick is 36 ½” /927mm. No makers marking but believed to be mid 1880s and of French origin---see Appendix G6 (Note cap has very fine thread, care must be exercised when removing and replacing).
Edwardian “Candle” walking cane. Ebonised shaft with horn ferrule. The upper 8”/23mm consists of a silver plated section with a screw cap and removable collar. Lower part of the plating has been worn with use. The cap is hall marked “H & Co London 1907” and decorated with a floral pattern.. This cap when unscrewed reveals the candle top. The silver plated collar directly below the cap holds the candle in place against an internal spring. Directly under the candle within the stick the compressed spring pushes the candle up as it burns. Where the bottom of the candle engages the top of the spring is a circular steel plate (the spring plate).This is for protection if/when the candle burns right down. To replace the candle the collar can be twisted and disengaged. This will allow the spring to fully extend. (A firm grip is needed on the collar as it is released as the spring it holds in place is strong). A new candle can then be placed on top of the spring plate and pushed down, compressing the spring back into the top of the stick. The spring can best be held in position by replacing the collar over the top of the candle, pushing down, and clicking the collar back into place. Overall length is 910mm/36. Most candlesticks are made to hold candles with the standard diameter - seven-eighths of an inch - which have been used across Britain since around 1840.(As is the candle in this stick. Diameter of opening in collar slighter smaller) This imperial measurement was a standard of Price's Candles, for decades the dominant force in the British market.

A nice vintage Malacca cane with a silver handle fully hall marked for 1925. A hinged cap is set into the top which when opened reveals a cavity to hold cigarettes.. At present it holds a No 1 Embassy filter cigarette. The makers mark is JH set in a diamond. This is for Jonathan Howell, a well-known 17th century cane maker. Ferrule a replacement. Overall length 35”/950mmIn 1859, Henry Howell established a cane merchandising business under his name, manufacturing walking sticks for the wholesale market, on Old Street in London. Henry Howell & Company quickly grew to become one of the world’s leaders in the production of high quality walking sticks shooting sticks and umbrella handles. In 1867 Jonathan Howell, Henry’s cousin, who had his own cane/walking stick business joined Henry.In 1888, Henry died childless and left everything he owned to Jonathan. The business continued under its original name. By 1895, Henry Howell & Co. employed 460 people and declared itself the largest single manufacturer of walking sticks in the world. After Jonathan's death in 1934 the business went through several phases. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the company's performance declined due to changes in style and fashion. On March 14th, 1947, Henry Howell (1936) Ltd was placed into voluntary liquidation.
This is an elegant old cane or walking stick. The top is sterling silver in the form of an urn. The cover is set with a roulette wheel. The little knob on the top spins the wheel. The small ball settles where it will! The handle is hallmarked for London but it's worn and difficult to read. The wood is notched to give it a banded appearance. This notching allows the texture of the wood grain to be enhanced by colour change across each notch. The little roulette works fine. A very neat gadget cane.

The shaft is in excellent condition but the ferrule does not appear to be original.Measures 37"/925mm
Galileo telescope walking stick by Messrs. T. Bradford & Co., Manchester. Enclosed in the end of the horn handle is a small compass. This has a hinged brass cover which has a lens mounted in a small hole at the centre. When this cover is raised it acts as a back sight for a telescope. This is created by a separate glass lens sold with the stick. This additional glass magnifying lens fits on the shaft and slides backwards and forwards to suit long or short viewing distances. Having taken a sighting a compass bearing could be established. Unfortunately, as with most examples of this stick design, the separate lens is missing, (A typical lens of this nature is shown below in the green photo.) A variation is some canes --like this one-- have a very small trigger arrangement mounted under the curve of the handle which, when engaged, locks the compass in place. The bamboo shaft features an ornately decorated gold collar directly below the compass cover. The cover is embossed "LUCE HOSKING'S PATENT”. The collar engraved elaborate scrolls and a shield with the initials “JRR” The overall length of the stick is 33”/840mm. .Note-- the small trigger on this stick (see photos) is inoperable.

This is a late 19C saw cane by John Jacob Holtzapffel. The saw nestles in a groove in the Stick, thus protecting the teeth. It is held in place by a small sliding brass plate. This arrangement carries a shield engraved ‘Holtzapffel London.” This sliding plate can be adjusted and the saw, which is “pined” at the lower end, can swivel out. It can then pivot allowing the teeth to face out., The upper end of the saw can be clipped onto the metal retainer (spring loaded) at the end of the cane’s handle. To ensure the saw is kept in a straight line this is deliberately a tight fit and requires a little bowing of the shaft. When closing, the saw can again pivot so the saw teeth face the stick hence fitting in the groove protecting the teeth.. Overall length of the walking stick is 39”/100mm and the saw is 26 ½”/670mm.Date around 1890.An example of this can be seen in Catherine Dike’s book “Cane Curiosa”.

The Holtzapffel dynasty of tool and lathe makers was founded in 1794 in Long Acre, London by a Strasbourg-born turner, Jean-Jacques Holtzapffe. Moving to London from Alsace in 1792, he anglicised his name to John Jacob Holtzapffe. In 1794 he set up a tool-making partnership in Long Acre with Francis Rousset, trading under the name of John Holtzapffel. The firm specialized in laths, edge and boring tools, especially high quality, ornamental turning. He sold his first lathe in June 1795 In 1928 lathes for ornamental turning were going out of fashion, and the firm, after three generations, sold its last lathe.
