CONFEDERATE VETERAN’S CANE.

CONFEDERATE VETERAN’S CANE. 35″ long cane, with top 15″ decorated with tacks, hearts, and moons cut out of brass, with the most interesting device being the “CS” medallion from a 2-pc “CS” sword belt plate surrounded by 2 letter “I’s”, possibly representing “Infantry”. There is no date or ID on this cane, but it appears typical of similar pieces of folk art from the late 19th century. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “Walking stick wonderfully decorated with tacks and twine wrapping and, most notably, what appears to have been the center oval brass “CS” of a two-piece plate with a silver letter “I” inlet on each side.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Cane has seen some use but is solid and sturdy. String wrap is soiled but complete. Several tacks and inlays are missing. 4-31459 JS60 (500-800)
