Here is an early souvenir walking cane made of wood taken from the famous Gettysburg battlefield. This is a two-piece cane that measures about 34" long overall. The handle piece is 3 ½” long and is turned from a chunk of hard wood that has a fired bullet embedded with the conical cavity exposed. This handle is mounted on a longer shaft to complete the cane. The entire surface length of the cane was sanded smooth and then decorated with multiple wavy designs effected by lightly burning the surface. Below the handle Corps badges of the seven corps present at Gettysburg are outlined with a dark burn as is “PICKETTS CHARGE”.
A very nice, early Gettysburg souvenir. [jet]
