<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 45090, member: 37"]I saw this over on ebay forum but don't know too much about such things. I do think it has the potential to be a good item. It appears to be oak and, as such, I would think it is American in origin. It doesn't seem to be as old or as fine as some of the most sought after canes but it certainly is unique. Without a carver's name, it will probably be difficult to know a whole lot more. </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that I remember seeing a similar cane with multiple figures like this but can't find anything quite like it now. It might be worth contacting an auction house that specializes in sports memorabilia for their opinion. Heritage Auctions is probably as good or better than most for this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
