Catherine Dike examines the two main groups of walking sticks and canes: gadget sticks and decorative ones. The book is of interest not only to cane collectors but to collectors in general, as the book’s coverage overlaps with many other fields.
For centuries man has used the stick for many purposes, both decorative and practical. Later it became a symbol of authority, carried by tribal chiefs, army officers and policemen, and a costume accessory, an appendage of the swaggering dandy. This book examines the two main groups of walking sticks and canes: gadget sticks and decorative ones.
