Can anyone read the rest of this? American Civil War walking stick

heavy mailing tube.....

 

Or a Priority tube; I think some of the large ones are large enough.

 

Thank you. That's A lovely offer. The one I bid on ends tomorrow, so I'll let you know what happens. I'm just pleased people enjoy the history. The canes are interesting, but knowing something about the man who made them adds so much.

 

You're welcome. Most antique junkies feel that way too. We don't want the "stuff" as much as the stories.

 

And I just found a brief mention in the Richmond Dispatch, 13 July 1902-pg11

 

That's cool. Contemporary documentation is always a good thing.

 

I guess she got the other one.

 

I'm glad that she dropped by. Somehow I missed the resuscitation of this thread last month, with all of the information.

 

Me too until I looked for it in the Search box. For some reason I never got a notification, even though I started the thread.

 

The notifications here don't always work, for whatever reason!

 

So I've noticed! Oh well. Off to its new home tomorrow. That wild picture of the bridge went to its forever home last night.
