WW2 Folk Art Cane from 110th Medical Battalion | 1941


Here we have a fantastic World War 2 folk art cane created by medics of the 110th division at Camp Robinson In Arkansas. This is a special one, and I'm at a loss for words, but not the utmost admiration. The rare walking stick is dated 1941 and has carving throughout. Let's jump right in to the carvings.

Unreal. Such a cool piece of military history. The 110th Medics Battalion served extensively in WW2, starting with D-Day. Their heroism and service is a thing to behold.

The rare folk art cane originally came out of an estate auction in the Midwest.

The walking stick measures just under 35" tall. There is great patina everywhere. The varnish puts it over the top. The top of the cane is experiencing some natural cracks (see pic). There is a natural crack in the base as well. Please see all pics as they are part of the description.

What a phenomenal piece of historical art. And what an honor to learn about their story.
