This early 20th-century cane features a cylindrical butterscotch Bakelite knob originally designed to house a small flashlight, complete with an internal copper battery harness and miniature light bulb. The grip is mounted over a gilt metal collar, and the shaft is ebonized hardwood. A clever example of functional innovation typical of the Art Deco era, this piece likely served as both walking aid and torch for its original owner.
