bought this for £10 today , jefferson 1743 - 1826 coin swagger stick

the weight to the top is unbelievable

Nice!

 

Can't seem to find a coin or anything that matches though ?

 

Feels like it was seriously meant for belting !!

 

Cool piece. Are you sure the top doesnt screw off?

 

Be mega cool if a knife came out

I don't think so though buddy, feels weighted though

I'll get some sexy pictures of it tomorrow, think it's one of the best things I've ever bought

 

These are not silver, but the same ...

Interesting thanks R2

Does look the same type, yet different

Think I'll test it to see if it's silver

They all look quite modern, this doesn't strike me as modern, but the commemorative realisation of it makes me wonder

 

Perhaps mr Dempsey might know

Nice! That's not an American official coin. 1826 was the year he died, so maybe some sort of commemorative.

 

Very interesting, thanks evey

 

I can just tell that there's some history to this thing, it's got depth

 

how tall is it?

 

This seller says the he bought this bronze version in the 1980s.

A company in the UK made these gold plated versions. None of the sellers know anything about them.

 

That’s very cool!

 

Hi mate, it's 30 1/2 inches

 

I was thinking it might be a walking stick......as Gents were known to carry them , because they doubled as weapons......and yours would crack a skull !!!

 

Yes maybe,it’s seems longer than than the average swagger stick. So maybe a shorter walking stick.. Is it mahogany?

 

What does the tip look like? (Just for interest sake)! Also in the last photo (on the copper bit)just below the coin. Is that a date? It looks like xx (something) 85?
