Three wooden walking sticks dating from 1970–1980 from Italy, with brass animal-head handles (raptor, horse and dog), each 89 cm high, 10 cm wide and 3 cm deep, featuring a hidden flask inside and showing typical age-related marks in good used condition.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three walking sticks belonging to my grandfather, with brass handles shaped like animal heads: a raptor, a horse, and a dog. The heads are well crafted and rich in detailed engravings.
The sticks are dark wood and by unscrewing the handle you find inside a small vial, a curious and distinctive detail typical of this type of cane.
They show normal signs of age due to the years, especially on the wood and brass (they have not been intentionally polished; the brass bears the patina of time that many collectors prefer. With polishing they can still become very bright), but overall they are well preserved. The tips at the base have probably been replaced over time.
One of the sticks has the threaded part of the handle broken at the point where it screws to the shaft, and the inner vial has also broken. Externally, however, the stick shows no obvious damage.
The photos are part of the description and clearly show the conditions and details.
