Elmgarden has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
This attractive stick has a secret inside, when the horn handle is puled from the Bamboo walking cane it reveals a brass horse measuring rod.
There is a steel level that pulls out from the brass measure, being French the usual Hand measurement is marked with M for Main etched into the brass, otherwise it is the same as an English measure
The Stick is in good usable condition, but due to much use it does have the expected curve so often found on pieces this age, and signs of age
The stick is 71” fully extended, closed it is 37”
