A lot of 11 deaccessioned canes from Florida's St. Petersburg Museum of History, all from one W. A. Hutchinson of Tarentum, PA, who also made some of them and sought out wood and other materials with interesting roots and history, all wrapped in paper with illustrious and methodical hand written descriptions. Canes include one incorporating a water snake caught by Edward Callen on July 23, 1941, a maple cane with a shepherds crook handle, an aluminum cane made by the Aluminum Company of America in New Kensington, PA around 1938, a cane with WWII, Okinawa origins obtained in exchange for two packs of American cigarettes, a heavy cane made of metal alloy, a bamboo cane from the Mellon Mansion, Pittsburgh, rubber tree branch with bark, a leather cane and a snake skin cane with a silver initialed tip both with purported Hollywood origins, a cane made from a grape vine branch.
