DID YOU KNOW
The discovery of 130 canes and walking sticks inside the tomb suggest not only the opulence of even the most mundane artifacts, making him one of the first cane collectors in history
The cane has a long history, traced to Egyptian history through depictions in hieroglyphics even before the discovery of the hundred plus canes.
Ash is a hardwood and is hard, dense (within 20% of 670 kg/m3 for Fraxinus americana,[ and higher at 710 kg/m3 for Fraxinus excelsior, tough and very strong but elastic, extensively used for making bows, tool handles, baseball bats, walking sticks and other uses demanding high strength and resilience.
. The Morgan Motor Company of Great Britain still manufacture sports cars with frames made from ash. It was also widely used by early aviation pioneers for aircraft construction.
Bakelite (/?be?k?la?t/ BAY-k?l-eyet; sometimes spelled Baekelite) or polyoxybenzylmethyleneglycolanhydride was the first plastic made from synthetic components. It is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. It was developed by the Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907.
Bakelite was patented on December 7, 1909. The creation of a synthetic plastic was revolutionary for its electrical nonconductivity and heat-resistant properties in electrical insulators, radio and telephone casings and such diverse products as kitchenware, jewelry, pipe stems, children's toys, and firearms. The "retro" appeal of old Bakelite products has made them collectible.[3]
