Antique Wooden Walking Cane with Silver-Mounted Crook Handle – Birmingham, 1921 This antique walking cane features a classic wooden crook handle fitted with a solid silver terminal mount. The silver ferrule bears clear British hallmarks for Birmingham with a date letter corresponding to 1921, securely confirming the period and origin of the piece. The handle and shaft are made from a single piece of wood, smoothly finished and showing attractive natural grain beneath a warm, aged surface. The crook handle has a well-balanced curve typical of early 20th-century British walking sticks intended for everyday gentleman’s use. The silver-mounted handle terminal shows surface wear, small dents, and scratches consistent with age and use, with no signs of modern polishing or replacement. The wooden shaft displays honest patina, surface marks, and areas of softened finish acquired over time. The ferrule is no longer present. There are no visible structural cracks or repairs, and the cane remains solid and sound. The combination of restrained wooden form and silver-mounted detail reflects early 20th-century British design, where functional objects were subtly enhanced with precious metal elements. The presence of clear hallmarks adds both authenticity and collector interest. This cane represents a genuine early 20th-century British walking stick and will appeal to collectors of antique canes, gentleman’s accessories, and silver-mounted objects.
