Toledo sword cane with snakewood shaft. Marked "TOLEDO" with horn ferrule and silver handle in the form of a stylized dog head. In addition to their aesthetics, walking canes in the 19th century also served practical purposes. They were used by both men and women as a means of support while walking on uneven surfaces or for balance. They also provided protection, with some canes featuring concealed sword blades, while others had built-in compartments for storing small items such as snuff or perfume. 34"L x 3 1/2"PERIOD: Late 19th CenturyORIGIN: Michigan, United StatesSIZE: 34"L x 3 1/2"
