Antique c1897 Folk Art, Civil War GAR, Hand Carved Patriotic Cane

An Antique (dated 1897) Folk Art, Civil War GAR Cane, Walking Stick. The Cane was hand carved by Swen Hassler in 1897 and has a great Patriotic design with the GAR Medal Symbol, a Bald Eagle holding Cannons, The Capitol Building, Lady Liberty, Flowers, Vines and Acorns, there is a fish at the top. The cane has several words and phrases including "Swen Hassler, 1897, Grad Army of the Republic, Our Constitution, Justice, Law, Human Rights".

It is made from a hardwood and has a warm natural patina. Overall dimensions are 37" x 5 1/2" across the handle, he was a tall man for the times. The Cane is in good overall condition, it has a small age shrink line in the top oof the handle. This was used and is missing the bottom tip, someone added tape there instead, see photos. This is one of two Folk Art canes from the same estate, please see my store, Neatcurios for the other also by Mr Hassler.

We ship Worldwide. This will be an oversized package.
