    I got these at an estate sale. They measure just over an inch tall and seem to be made of heavy tinfoil backing for colored prints. How would I describe them? Any ideas on the age?
    TIA

    I would describe them as a learning experience.

    Are they flat or curved?

    German/Swiss Walking Stick metal emblems, probably 1960's or newer.

    "Walking Stick"--are you describing a commercial name or an actual object?

    I concur, my Dad says lots of old farts in his sheltered housing have them, even on their walkers.
    He calls them old farts but he`s the oldest in there.

    Just a fairly straight piece of wood for a hiking stick.
