Canes & Walking Sticks: A Stroll Through Time and Place

Thoroughly illustrated in color, the guide serves as both a coffee-table pictorial and a collector’s reference on the history, evolution, etiquette, and care of the walking implement. Captions include the values of all the pictured walking sticks, which come from a who’s who of collectors and sellers. Snyder, a writer who specializes in the subject of antiques, is also the author of From the Seventeenth Through the Twentieth Century (1993). 8.75×11.25″.
