Charming vintage or antique striped umbrella or parasol made by Polan, Katz & Co., founded in 1906 in Baltimore, MD.  I'm unsure of the fabric content, but it is silky.  Opened, the diameter is approx. 29" and length is about 31" tip to tip.  The umbrella shows its age and has seen a lot of use:  the fabric is stained, there a few tiny holes, and some of the metal ribs are slightly bent --- please examine photos showing the condition as they are a part of the description.  The star of the umbrella is its faux bois (fake wood) metal handle --- just fabulous and in great condition.  Comes from a smoke-free home.  Thank for looking.
