DID YOU KNOW
The discovery of 130 canes and walking sticks inside the tomb suggest not only the opulence of even the most mundane artifacts, but evidence that King Tut was a cane collector as well. The cane has a long history, traced to Egyptian history through depictions in hieroglyphics even before the discovery of the hundred plus canes.
ASH WOOD
Ash is a hardwood and is hard, dense (within 20% of 670 kg/m3 for Fraxinus americana,[ and higher at 710 kg/m3 for Fraxinus excelsior, tough and very strong but elastic, extensively used for making bows, tool handles, baseball bats, walking sticks and other uses demanding high strength and resilience.
. The Morgan Motor Company of Great Britain still manufacture sports cars with frames made from ash. It was also widely used by early aviation pioneers for aircraft construction.

NOTE on CONDITION
ANY WEAR IS CONSISTENT WITH THE AGE OF THIS ITEM
As our items are antiques and have been used in some case for many years, the items have a natural character which includes minor dings, dents, and other marks of age. Our items wear these as badges of honor that they have survived through the years. So please expect some minor signs of their previous lives. We try to explain and show every detail, but sometimes something may be unintentionally overlooked.
REGARDING CANES & WALKING STIX
Many folks ask me if antique canes are OK to use. I do not believe that an antique cane should be used for support. When these were made they were more as a fashion statement and not a means of support.
Everybody carried a cane in the days of old.
