Featured Ivory? Cane top? Art Deco?

Those can be replaced, small blue glass cabs can be found in craft stores for little money. Maybe you find a piece of broken jewellery that you can harvest 2 cabs from, even better.

 

Thanks for the input so far! No signs of a metal ring (ferrule). The wood has threads from the self-tapping metal screw but don't think it was pre-threaded in any way. The other end shows no signs of any threads. It would be easy to mount this back onto a walking stick or parasol and I may consider doing so.

 

Swagger stick, once upon a time?

Dang it ! The last time I was at the thrift it was packed and I waited forever to pay and get the hell out and as Im walking out the door I see a cart roll out with a bunch of canes and they were snatched before I made it back in ! Is that burlwood ? I like that pretty thing a lot !

 

I think it'd be cool to turn it back into a walking stick. Regarding ferrules, I have heard of people using brass pipe-fittings / end-caps as ferrules for walking sticks. Or you could just by generic rubber ones online.

 

I see they decided to call a Madurese donoriko keris hilt a walking stick handle.

Ivory donoriko hilt on one of my keris (I'll have to take a side view):

 

There it is:

 

whoo - If it was entirely missing its keris, I can see a non-expert making the mistake. But even so? Sheesh.
