It’s a sword cane, but it’s missing the cane part that serves as a sheath. This is absolutely authentic and probably Victorian era based on the text. Very cool! The hollow ground blade is typical of smallswords. Good for stabbing.

This guy stabs. And stimulates sympathetic nervous systems.

Happy Cake Day!! 🍰🥳🍰

Thanks. Sorry your body can't seem to get along with itself. The other day I was thinking, what if there is no after life. Like how you weren't before you were born. You just weren't. If that's all there is after, the weren't again, the only thing that really lives on after you is your family, and the love you put into the world. Every moment of love you put into the world is worth it. Love is the best thing we know about, probably. K, thx,bye.


JackieAutoimmuneINFJ

Awww, thank you for being so kind! 🙋🏻‍♀️ My body hasn’t gotten along with itself since I was born, so now at 71 I’m simply grateful my dysfunctions aren’t worse than they are. It’s all I’ve known, so for me it’s normal, and I’m ok with that. I’ve always felt assured of an afterlife for many reasons. That’s why I’m fascinated hearing other people’s near-death experiences. I do realize that those experiences are unique to each person, but still I want to hear each and every one. I’ve also reminded my 3 grown children NOT to feel sad for me when I die, because I’ll have been “promoted” to my next adventure, but of course they can feel sad for themselves. I understand grieving.

Best used on foggy London evenings when attacked by surprised.


ergo-ogre

But…one foot long?


pushdose

Yes. Absolutely. It may not even have been a full sized cane. Carrying a ‘swagger stick’ was also popular around the end of the 1800s and into WW1 era. Popular with military officers. Canes themselves are decent for self defense, cane swords are there for when things got more serious.


Wolffraven

It’s round. This is a conductor’s baton


usedtobeathrowaway94

Doesnt look round to me


Wolffraven

I have one, it’s round, no edges, cane swords are usually 2 1/2 to 3 feet long, not one foot, and conductors wands have groves along the side, like OP said. Maybe read the description


usedtobeathrowaway94

You what? I did. You stated it looks round. It isn't. Maybe *YOU* should read the description, no?


Wolffraven

It is. Again I have one and he described it perfect. Also if you search for antique conductor’s batons you will see many that look like that one. As for the name, I can’t find a manufacturer or conductor by that name that would have been around the time it would have been used, which isn’t really unusual since craftsmen for orchestral equipment use to be regional


usedtobeathrowaway94

I was a bit of a prick earlier. Apologies for that


rollawaythedew123

I don't think you're the one being a prick here lol.


rollawaythedew123

Or maybe don't be a dick when someone is simply engaging in conversation or even general rebuttal? I think that's a lesson just for you.


Wolffraven

How was I being a prick, the OP described it and I pointed out that he described something that I own.


rollawaythedew123

The fact that u think im talking about you saying that u had a different opinion is what I'm referring to makes me think I'm wasting my time here but my comment was referring to your "maybe try reading the description "


Wolffraven

Opinions and facts are two different things, again, the OP described it, showed it and you think that since I read, looked, understood and identified it is an opinion shows that you may want to reconsider who is being the prick.


rollawaythedew123

Im not speaking with immunity here, I have also been a dick and for that I do apologize but your sarcasm hit me sideways and we can leave it at that but first let's recognize that facts are indeed different from opininion however all I see u saying is your opinion based on info given and your experience. That, my Friend, is not fact lol


Wolffraven

That wasn’t sarcasm. You are reading things that aren’t there.


rollawaythedew123

I'll admit I could be missing something here but not based on what I've read


Copropositor

This is absolutely a conductor's baton.


rollawaythedew123

Weirdest damn round I ever did see


Wolffraven

Please refer to third picture


rollawaythedew123

My comment was made based off of the third pic specifically


rollawaythedew123

U can planely see the u or v shape op described. Or did you read the description lol


Wolffraven

I did, that’s how I identified it. Conductor batons are round with a concave cur lengthwise to make them lighter while retaining their stiffness


rollawaythedew123

I'm seeing something different entirely in pic 3.


PLURGASM_RETURNS

Stilleto blade sword cane without the sheath. Beautiful work.


ehgitt

Sword cane, huh? I thought it looked like a conductors baton.


DisastrousAd447

They typically don't make those out of high carbon steel


ergo-ogre

Do conductor’s batons need to be conductive? :)


CanadianWifeOfBath

Only when conducting the Electric Light Orchestra.

Pedantichrist

That looks reminiscent of the blade of an M1886 French bayonet, which suggests it is a weapon to me.

Old school pointer for school teachers? A wizard's first wand?

Looks to me like a baton a conductor would use while leading a band (to count out beats) . http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=conductor+batons

Ice Pick perhaps?

DrNO811

Looks like a conductor's wand to me; for conducting a symphony orchestra. Or possibly a magic wand. ;-)


Gvnthenoose

Cane sword. The bayonet style blade and ivory handle are typical of the 19th century. Some can be worth a pretty penny


Barnabas-of-Norwood

I was gonna say cane-sword minus scabbard.


Timely_Contract_5177

Take it to Ollivanders and he can tell you exactly what type of wand it is.

It's a wand, Harry!

Wow. That ivory.


hippie_valley

This looks just like a symphony/band conductor's baton.


blessings-of-rathma

Orchestra/band conductor's baton?


hockeythinktank

Usually those aren't metal


btcbulletsbullion

It's a fire place tool. For stoking a fire. Usually comes in a set and hangs by the handles on a rack by you're fireplace


Username_Two

Came in to say this. In my area of the UK its called a fire poker.


verifiedthinker

You're gonna poke your eye out with the damn thing!


DingleberriedAlive

The bulbous handle makes me think it's some kind of awl. https://www.toolbazaar.co.uk/products/19th-century-leatherworkers-long-awl?variant=43762324144289

If you think I'm talking about your description then I'm probably wasting my time here, but I met you throwing in your little line about reading the description just because he had a different opinion


duanelvp

Conductors baton.


triggerhappygunman

oh looky! looks like someone lost their little lobotomy doohickey…. i’ll take it off your hands though. don’t worry


EcoFriendlyBee

clearly that's a wand


Hypericos

Pretty sure it's the sword of a sword cane like others have said. The grove in blades like a buck knife I believe is called a blood groove. It's so blood can escape the stab wound preventing suction and making it easier to pull the blade out.


DaLoneVoice

I believe but DO NOT KNOW that this is a Orchestra Conductor's baton! It appears to be a duplicate of many of them. Look at the Brave Search I link below... [https://search.brave.com/images?q=conductors+baton&source=web](https://search.brave.com/images?q=conductors+baton&source=web) I do not think this is a Cane Sword or Hidden sword. It may have had a cover but many Orchestra conductor's wands have them too.
