Anybody know anything about this antique walking stick?

Howdy,

Found this walking stick poking out the back of a skip about 2 years ago, and we just noticed that it is engraved. no idea how we missed it before.

Anybody know what it is? or what its even worth or anything. its dated 1909

Cheers

Have you tried googling any of the names engraved on it? Is there a maker name?
Or try getting it on Flog it!

I'm not knowledgeable about what it might be worth, but it's definitely worth getting a valuation, try a local auction house, never know your luck.

iv tried googling it, but it doesn't come up with owt, im guessing it was awarded to somebody in 1909 by what it says on it

Its a walking stick from 1990 it appears!

From what I can make out some Freemason's Lodge called Humility Lodge awarded it to Brother William Pearson.

Possibly ivory handle and ebony cane ?

After extensive analysis, I have come to the conclusion that this is a walking stick.

Is it Stirling silver 'Shock? Any hallmarks?

Is there a sword hidden in it?

It would be interesting to know what the handle is made of, some type or horn perhaps?

I am sure someone who collects antique canes would buy it from you. Might be worth putting it on ebay and see what happens?

looks badly engraved tbh...

wazza300 · 20 Jan 2015 at 17:19

I believe it was once owned by hercule poirot

You can get the date, silver quality and location it was made from the hallmarks if it has the right ones. a quick search found me this place which has a relatively easy translation to follow: http://www.silvercollection.it/englishsilverhallmarks.html

aye, ill have to have a look see where theres a antique dealer near me and see if they know anything about it

IceShock · 20 Jan 2015 at 17:34

The stamp on the stick, is a picture of a Anchor, then a lion or something, then a "i" i think the last stamps half worn off

Just looked at that page, Birmingham, 1908 the silver was made

So is that good?
