Faux Rhino Horn Plastic Walking Stick

Rare Vintage Celluloid Walking Stick

Although I have very little interest in vintage walking sticks, I am always on the lookout for antique walking sticks, swagger sticks and riding crops made from Rhino horn and over the years I have bought and sold quite a few.

When I first saw this walking cane in a provincial auction, estimated £10 – £15 I thought I’d found a small treasure; until I picked it up. It was far too light to be Rhino horn, but seemed to have been made to simulate Rhino, for it was made from celluloid.

Celluloid Faux Rhino Horn Stick - Silver Handle

Silver Handle Hallmarked Birmingham 1921

Although I have come across many celluloid walking stick handles and parasol handles in the past, this is the first celluloid walking stick shaft I have ever seen.

The stick is 36inches(91.5cm) high. The silver top is hallmarked silver – Birmingham 1921 – and bears a maker’s initials – HSM.

Sold.
