Here we have one of the coolest old Tramp Art walking canes this side of the Mississippi. The intricate geometric patterns created from layered and notched wood elevates this beauty in the world of hobo art. The old time artist utilized found or discarded scrap wood and created the magnificent artifact. Check out the chip-carved technique, where small pieces of wood are stacked and carved to a three-dimensional effect. And to top it off, you have the hidden spike in the handle. Antique canes with hidden compartments are less common than other forms of tramp art. A hefty and wicked piece of hobo art.
The rare folk art comes out of a Twin Cities collection. The rare and unusual piece was made sometime in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
The antique folk art cane measures 35" tall. Please see all the pics as they are part of the description.
