- Lot Description
Circa 1906
The silver handle is L-shaped, featuring a clean, flowing curve that widens subtly before rising to a smooth, raised tip, an ergonomic choice that offers both comfort and style. A well-matched, integral, and tapered collar enhances its profile while simultaneously ensuring a proper joint to the shaft. The latter bears an “800” fineness mark, flanked by an “M” and a “P,” though the maker is unidentified.
The handle is fitted with a plain, smooth laurel shaft, with its characteristic natural streaked grain clearly visible, and ends in a spiked steel ferrule.
The cane breaks into two parts with a straight pull, revealing a 27-inch steel blade with three subtle facets on each side, all tapering slightly toward the tip. It is held in place by friction, with a slender, plain silver ring hiding the seam.
Time and the elements have left their mark on the blade’s surface, which now shows a dramatically altered appearance, adding character without compromising structural integrity. Near the base, a partially obscured inscription precedes the clear marking “TOLEDO 1906.”
Collectors consistently prize sword canes like this one, objects of quiet sophistication that transform, without spectacle, into defensive weapons.
In this example, the classy, restrained elegance only enhances its allure, making it a discreet yet undeniable statement piece.
