An American folk art cane with a Masonic theme

Item Details

Description

An American folk art cane with a Masonic theme. Made of a large piece of hardwood, perhaps maple or birch, it has a handle that is 2 2/3" high and 4 2/3" long. It depicts a detailed hand holding a spyglass. The 2" stem and eyepiece of the spyglass are made of bakelite. (Bakelite was developed in 1907 by Belgian chemist Leo Baekeland. It was one of the earliest man-made composition materials and gained almost immediate popular use.) The shaft is carved in high relief starting with an encircling black-painted snake with tiny bead eyes. Below the snake's head are a cross, a heart, and a rope and anchor. The symbols probably mean that those with Christian faith and a pure heart, will have the hope of navigating a full, rich life, and overcoming evil. The spyglass and anchor appear to represent a strong tie in the nautical metaphor. (See Wikipedia under Masonic symbols). The shaft is carved with high raised lettering in words meant to inspire: "Patience, Temporate, Industry, Provident, Justice, Purity, and Fortitude". Above the base is a long, twisted ivy vine with green-painted leaves, a symbol of eternity. A 7/8" good replaced brass ferrule, completes the piece. The overall length is 38" and the condition is very good. It is probably American, ca 1910, and it is a great Masonic example fraught with symbolism. Estimate: $900-$1300.
