    I just glanced at this before. Today I really looked at it. That's a rattlesnake peeking out of his collar! Dang.

    I originally posted that pic because of his cane with the rubber plunger, and which is a rattle snake, too. As is his hat band, his boots and his tie, LOL. Someday I intend to find the star and horseshoe logo on his hat, but haven't been bored enough lately.

    Gila,

    That's great! Ha glad I've given you something new to spend your hard earned money on!

    Ironically I've just bought a lot which has a bird cane! No joke! Ha looking at it it's pretty new. I bought them as 20th century and in my head I just thought early 20th century, but think a few examples are from late 20th century and think the bird cane is one of them. If you don't care about age or you want to look at it I can take some photos and attach them later on. I'm at work today so will be tonight.

    Though since you said you're going to beat me up I'm not sure I should encourage you any more! Ha

    Hi Gila, thought I'd introduce you to your latest bird cane...oops, I mean my latest bird cane! Not that I'm tempting you to purchase another bird cane! Ha

    As I said, I think it's late 20th century, not sure exact age, but I'd expect it's prob 70s/80s maybe newer. Is quite nicely, if not nievly done.

    I am afraid, but I thought if I'm going to get beat up I may as well get beat up for selling you two canes! Rather than just the one! Ha

    Plus I like to know they have a good home.

    I'm planning on listing them on Monday so let me know if you want this bird to fly over the pond

    Hey, Matt... what's your eBay name, please? Or would you message it to me if you prefer. It slipped my mind to check that auction. And when I remembered THAT, I couldn't remember how to find you!

    Hi, sorry, just been on to check. EBay name is paintings83. Bird cane is on now with a few watchers but no bids so you might grab a bargain think it's got 3 days left or so. I haven't got international postage price but if you're interested let me know and I'll get you a price. Can't see it being much more to post than European tbh, though it is quite heavy.

    Love that I've started you a new collection! Ha
