    I found this elephant head cane at my regular thrift store Friday! I did an image search but haven't been able to find another one - similar ones, but not the same - could it be handmade?
    Also what is it made of? It looks like wood where it's worn a bit, like the tip of 1 ear and the top edge of the flat, back of the elephant head/handle; that looks like wood under the brown color?
    I thought wood, but it is so smooth feeling, almost like plastic or ceramic?
    Has anyone seen this handle before? How old is it?
    Thank you for any help!
