Rare Antique Whimsy Parade Cane Pink Solid Worked Twisted Glass Walking Stick
Photos in the sunlight to show its beauty. Measures approximately 36" in height. Oversized shipping applies.
Bottom is surprisingly unchipped, but handle end appears to be chipped or crudely cut (see pics), but given it's age and the quality of glass at the time it looks great - see photos!
Glass canes played roles on ceremonial occasions and in parades. Glassworkers in the U.S., decked out in their finest clothes and labor union colors, marched in the July 4th and Labor Day parades to show union solidarity, proudly carrying their glass canes. Glass canes had superstitious and practical uses as well. They were conspicuously hung above mantels and doorways, as well as in pubs in England. Glassworkers believed the canes kept evil spirits away. In the U.S., marchers would break their canes at the end of the parade season to create bigger and better ones for the next year. - Corning Museum of Glass
