[Lincoln, Abraham] Hand-Carved Cane With Abraham Lincoln Bust. American Folk Art Cane, 36 in., with a hand-carved and highly detailed profile portrait of a bearded Abraham Lincoln. It was carved of two pieces of walnut, with smooth, decorated knob end and a typical, tapered shaft. The high relief portrait of Abraham Lincoln is carved on the upper portion of the shaft, 6 in. from the knob top, and the portrait is the width of one side of the cane. The end tip has a 1½ in. nickel-brass and steel ferrule, with the initials "K. & H." stamped along the edge. It is not clear as to maker or date, however this cane could have been as early as the 1864 Presidential campaign. In any event, this is a truly wonderful item for Abraham Lincoln, political and cane collectors alike.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 2,000.
