<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 9850353, member: 360&quot;]Somebody suggested it was a riding cane or riding stick, similar to a riding crop/whip.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve looked it up, but again...the length isn&#039;t right. All the riding canes I&#039;ve seen are approaching 3ft...and this one is nowhere near that length. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It may well-be. I&#039;ve done a lot more research, and I no longer think it&#039;s a swagger stick - the information I&#039;ve consumed and photographs I&#039;ve seen have convinced me of that. Now, I&#039;m still pretty sure it&#039;s either a children&#039;s, dwarf&#039;s or woman&#039;s walking stick of some variety. It&#039;s the only thing that answers all the criteria. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have now turned my attention towards repairing the ferrule. I didn&#039;t want to throw it out and buy a new one (I couldn&#039;t find one to fit, anyway!!), so instead, I have started rebuilding/repairing the original one, so that I can add it back to the stick when I&#039;m done.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve removed the ferrule from the stick (easy enough - it&#039;s held in by a single, not-very-well-driven nail), rolled out the dents and bumps, hammered in the broken end-cap, and I&#039;m currently epoxying them together.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once it&#039;s set, I&#039;ll slip it back onto the stick in one piece, and hammer it back into place with a new nail of the right size.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
