It belonged to my late great-grandfather. It's made of wood. There is a metal ball in the animal's mouth. That is all.

The stick in question.

Hello Avy and welcome to the forum. The cane appears to be home made. Was our Great Granddad a craftsmen? It is difficult to identify the wood in that picture. It appears the handle is 3/4 inch stock with what could be a 3/4 dowel stock as the shaft. But having his cane is a great keepsake!

Hi Avy. It looks like the handle and staf are a high gread plywood, possibly a marine ply. The basic shape of the handle is called a "derby handle" with what appears a sharks head nose and brass callor. I would say it is a homemade cane. Possibly made by your Great Granddad or anther craftsman.

Thanks for info, it has been very helpful in my quest to identify this object. Thank you again!
