Gold Knob Presentation Cane

This beautiful cane symbolizes a life-long commitment to one’s craft in two senses. It was presented from wife to husband upon his retirement from law in 1905, and its ornate Roman column handle signifies the absolute mastery of its goldsmith. The knob is inscribed, "Presented to B. Rees, Esq., J.P., by Mrs. H. Rees / Freedom, New York, USA / 8-9-05"
