An unusual early 20th century military themed walking stick, possibly Ottoman / Turkish in origin and relating to an artillery officer. The stick elliptical in shape, and features a steel handle finely decorated with painted / damascene gold leaves, and a pair of crossed canons, and what appears to be a crescent moon. The shaft of the stick would appear to be rosewood, and has a brass ferrule to the end. Approximately 97.5cm in length. Condition: generally good. The steel handle has a good colour and patina, with the steel having become a russet / grey colour. The gilt decoration is mostly intact, with just a little minor rubbing in places. Good colour and patina to the wooden shaft, with just a little surface splintering to one side.
A scarce early 20th century flashlight walking stick, featuring a bulb lit pommel, with a hollow amber bakelite cover. The whole pommel section unscrews to reveal a hollow compartment for a battery, and the bakelite cover is secured by means of a bayonet fitting, which when removed it reveals the small bulb inside. The hardwood shaft and pommel section are bridged by a gilt brass collar. Other than it being an item perhaps used for safety at night, it’s exact purpose is unknown. A similar battery powered flashlight stick with an amber bakelite cover was famously used by the Titanic sinking survivor, Ella White in 1912, when she used as a glowing beacon to guide rescuers to her lifeboat, and to safety (sold at Guernsey’s Auction House, New York for $62,500). Although of simple form and construction, the item was probably cutting edge technology at the time. Circa 1920’s in date. Approximately 91.5cm in length. Condition: generally good. The Bakelite pommel remains intact and free from damage. The small bulb inside also remains intact, with the filament still being unbroken. A little splintering to the wooden shaft, plus some contact marks. The ferrule tip is missing from the end, but this should be replaceable. The bulb has not been tested.
