The encircling text is in great part a classic German saying spelling a cast on the cane's owner and wishing him luck and benediction plus an an honorable word about labor. This cane is charming vernacular art and a testimony of a long gone world of good. It has the little something that fascinates everyone and is ennobled by the rightful age grown patina.H. 6 1/2" x 2 3/4", O.L. 33"$300-$400
