This teacher's cane features a crook handle, furnished with a hallmarked silver crown.

The entire stick is made from whangee bamboo which is semi-flexible:
 'Whangee refers to any of over forty Asian grasses of the genus Phyllostachys, a genus of bamboos. They are a hardy evergreen plant from Japan, China and the Himalayas whose woody stems were often used to make canes and umbrella handles. The word derives from the Chinese (Mandarin) huáng lí. It can also refer to a cane made from whangee. Charlie Chaplin’s character, The Little Tramp, is famously known for his whangee cane. John Steed, the dapper secret agent from television’s The Avengers, was known for carrying an umbrella with a whangee handle.'

A traditional cane perfect for a collector.

Diameter of the handle - 13.6cm

Very good condition with natural semi flexible shaft. Dings to the silver & rubbing to hallmarks which are illegible.
