The great men of the last two centuries have carried canes, from Sherlock Holmes, to Gregory House and of course Scrooge McDuck. Every Gentleman Requires a Cane. This cane is not a substitute for a medical walking device. The cane shaft has been constructed from steel with a black glossy finish. The bottom of the cane features a tough rubber gripper. The head of the cane has been constructed from steel and is shaped as a brass finish snake with an open mouth eating the shaft.
