Smart American walking cane by Simons, Brothers & Co. Philadelphia, circa 1890
The top marked with Simons trade mark S in a shield (double stamped) and number 2 ( no trefoil mark to indicate rolled gold)
In my opinion the top is solid gold, but may be heavy rolled gold.
The crown top chased and engraved with scrolls and florals,
The hard, dense, rigid shaft with fabulous mottled brown/black cross grain effect, probably ebonized maple or hickory
Diameter of handle 13/16'' or 21mm
Diameter of shaft 5/8'' or 15mm
Length 33,3/4'' or 857mm, weight 180 grams.
All in excellent sound condition, light marks throughout from age and use, the top showing small marks from the rim and side seam construction.
