<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 100712, member: 44&quot;]Basket weave sounds right to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I found a cane/walking stick with similar basket weave silver knob. It is titled &quot;The Historic Battle of San Juan Hill Cane.&quot; It was estimated to go for $500 to $1,000 with a starting bid of $400. The description of the cane:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Historical Battle Cane-Dated 1898-A heavy basket woven silver handle, inscribed silver collar &quot;O. B. C. 1898 San Juan Hill Cuba&quot;, rich snakewood shaft and a bi-metal ferrule-H. 1 ¼&quot; x 1&quot;, O.L. 35 ¾&quot;-$500-$1,000&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7016046_historical-battle-of-san-juan-hill-cane" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7016046_historical-battle-of-san-juan-hill-cane" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7016046_historical-battle-of-san-juan-hill-cane</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In the auction live bidding catalog or whatever, it says there were &quot;0 Bids.&quot; The auction was held in Feb. 2010. Scroll down to #31.</p><p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/20521_antique-cane-auction/?pagenum=2&amp;rows=20" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/20521_antique-cane-auction/?pagenum=2&amp;rows=20" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/20521_antique-cane-auction/?pagenum=2&amp;rows=20</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a site with other cane auction catalogs. Down side is that no info is given on the canes.</p><p><a href="http://www.jamespriceimages.com/AuctionCatalogs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jamespriceimages.com/AuctionCatalogs" rel="nofollow">http://www.jamespriceimages.com/AuctionCatalogs</a></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, there are many sexually explicit canes in some of the auction catalogs. Some are a bit naughty and a few down right obscene. Gee, that prim and proper Victorian age was certainly inundated with porn stuff and such. Imagine walking around in polite, prim and proper (stiff necked) society with one those walking sticks. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
