I use a cane for balance. I prefer the knob top since I am not putting too much weight on it. This cane is great for that purpose, also looks great and has a nice heft. Had a different style silver plated one from another outlet and have dropped it several times and the silver plating has dented off, so that is why I got the solid brass. So far so good.

I always told myself I wouldn't start relying on a walking stick, but my back says otherwise some days, so I decided I'd buy a stick which was also useable as a costume accessory. This fits the bill very well. It's sturdy enough for support, strong and has a little heft to it. One very tiny fault - the metal collar below the handle does not sit tightly on mine, and is a little rough on the fingers after a while. The easy answer is to just change grip, but a tighter, straighter fit would be nice. All the same, I love this cane.

Very nice cane got several complimen on it the first time I used it.

A little bit short for a 5-11" frame (i have hip replacement issues, so do have a need for a cane on occasion), but it's certainly a good quality cane with a bit of heft - whether for actual practical use, or in cosplay.

Great like it

The cane is very good quality. The shipping is so fast.

This not only props you up but is the best prop for your debonaire millionaire look.

Excellent all round

I picked up this walking stick for a pair of reasons. A: I love the classic look of a gentleman with a walking stick, and B: I often have hip and back pain that are eased with the use of a cane. The order arrived promptly, and the cane was just as pretty as shown. What they could not show was the beautiful heft and balance of this walking stick. The feel of it in hand is simply divine. It moves quite nicely as an extension of my arm. I have studied a few martial arts, and the sturdiness of this makes me feel confident that it would hold up quite well if I needed to teach an assailant one of the finer points of bartitsu. All in all, the expense is well worth the quality of the product.

I wanted something nicer than an aluminum old folk's cane to help me move around after tearing my ACL. Received a lot of compliments. Knob doesn't thread on quite straight. Very happy otherwise.

classic walking stick for my son and his evil steampunk ways. perfect match for brown accented outfit.

This cane looks and feels really good. It is very robust. The screwed-on head is very stable. It is designed so it can be cut if it is too long for you. There's even instructions on how to determine the right length for you. I like it so much, I'm gonna be looking for excuses to carry it around.

I was looking for a classy walking stick and the governors cane more than filled the bill. Besides just looking great, the cane is strong enough to support my weight and the balance of the cane is superb.

A real walking stick, nicer than expected

The perfect accessory for the Speaker of the Legislature and in the days of physical distancing, a great tool to demonstrate the concept on a heritage walking tour!

I really liked the style of this cane. Just the right height and looks really classy.

Looks great! Fast delivery!

Lot nicer than renting a cheapie from a tux sho. Reall pleased

Looks like a great deal for the price - as advertised. came very carefully packed, and quickly. Many thanks

I love this cane. I feel quite regal with it, but the rubber tips are ugly and it doesn't have a brass tip underneath. I can easily (and have) purchased such a tip to really bring it together, but it should be included. The metal collar also isn't quite perfectly aligned. Minor issues. Overall it is beautiful, it has a good weight and is balanced around 11 inches down from the top. Which gives it excellent balance, but I'm one that prefers a balance closer to the hand, no more than 6-8 inches. Beautiful product, I highly recommend.

I like this cane with two small exceptions, the black is easily scratched and has to be colored in with a marker and I wish that there was a metal cap available for the bottom of the cane.

Love the cane....has a great look and feel, being nicely weighted at the top. Can be adjusted easily for the right height.

My father loves his gentlemen's cane! I ordered this as he just needs to be able to stabilize his right side as he walks. He wouldn't use the other canes we have given him. Because this looks like an expensive cane it loves it and it says it is perfect!

Nice look but knob should have more weight

Awesome as awesome can get. Absolutely wonderful! My first cane ever, and I'm totally impressed and satisfied. Great, fast service and delivery.

I have always wanted a cane like this. I have been sporting it few the past few weeks up to my wedding and I think I'm going to have it as a regular accessory. People don't mess around with a dope cane like this!

Good quality, instructions for adjusting to fit (with saw).

The cane was a great reproduction and time period accuracy.

I purchased this for a friend and he is thrilled with it! It is beautiful and well made... The flasks look like they'd carry a cigar or other fun items!

Now Im a Dandy, super cane.

Very happy with the quick delivery and the quality of the cane with the exception that the black part of the cane just under the brass ring has a blemish on it. Otherwise, it's just perfect.

Purchased for my father who is 89 years old but says he is too young for a cane. This ads the extra element of coolness and now he has no problem using the cane.

This is an exciting piece to own, I've received multiple compliments already and everyone is impressed with it's quality.

VERY well packaged, nothing was broken and made extremely well.

The gold pommeau is quite well done, it does look antique. The flasks hidden inside are a source of fun and interest, everyone likes it. It is only the rubber base at the end that looks bulky and cheap, it can be removed though.

What a clever companion this walking stick has become! It has a number of flasks that slide inside the cane for concealed libations. Great for liquids as tightly sealed but almost anything could be secretly held within. The brass hand-grip makes a perfect topper.

I own many canes. Some quite more expensive. This cane is by far my favorite. It has a quality feel. The flasks are perfectly sized and slide out of the handle very smoothly! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great cane!

My husband uses a cane or walking stick daily; this was a fabulous find. Order was a cinch, and we received it within a few days. Perfect for someone 5'10", and he loves the flasks. You never know when that might come in handy.

Thank you for such a great item! Fast shipping and great customer service.

This cane fit the time period impression I was shooting for. Looks great and really good quality.

I am totally pleased with my Derby Cane.

I was very pleased with your service. The cane arrived as promised. Unfortunately, I found the quality of the scrollwork on the handle was less than I had expected. It is ok; I can live with it. But just ok. I am disappointed in the quality, but I need the cane. Peter Witkiewicz

This cane is high quality , really nice .

Got this to polish off a gambler outfit I put together for CAS. I have a bum ankle and need a good cane from time to time. Looks great, feels good in hand, only detractor would be the rubber cap on the foot. It'd be nice to have a brass ferrule.

Great cane and it's well made. I bought this to go with my old west gambler outfit for when I want to classy up the joint. I also have a bad ankle and so this was a big help that looks good too. The head screws on but holds tight and is comfortable. My only issue is that it has a rubber boot on the bottom. I was hoping I could replace it was a brass tip and attach a rubber foot on the bottom of that. I'll figure something out. Otherwise I'm extremely happy with this.

Due to an injury, I needed a functional cane, so I thought I'd get which is Victorian period correct. I got several compliments on the cane when I used the cane at a Western event. The quality and visual impact is excellent. It's heavy and solid and the brass handle is beefy. I made the right choice.

Love the looks and feel. I wish it was a little longer, I was using an expandable one for a few week until I found and received this one and the extra inch or two seemed to be better, however this one is the height all the expert say should be right for me, If they could make an inch or two longer and allow customers to cut to right height (which it come with instructions for shorter people to cut and put the cap back on. It would be perfect, I love it.

This cane is Great the Quality it Great and my husband will be using it in Oct dowm in Tombstone.

Comfortable, sturdy and a pleasure to hold. Great Value!!

I thought the Brass /Walnut Cane I just purchased was a great buy both in quality of product and style. I just had total Knee replacement surgery 5 days ago and just returned from the hospital. I plan to use the cane as part of my re-hab process as soon as I finish with the walker in about a week. My PT therapist said she thought it look very elegant and I agree. I will likely use it after I don't need it.

Cane is usable as a walking aide. Goes great with or without my Steampunk attire. Also came with instructions on how to size the cane to properly use as a walking aide.

Gift for my son. His assessment: Striking to look at, beautiful balance. The perfect accessory to keep ruffians at bay during late night strolls.

I had this cane sized and I enjoy it. Friends and strangers have asked to try it and they too like it for its sturdiness and good looks.

Really like this cane. What would make it better is if you could remove the chunky rubber foot and find a solid brass foot like a couple of other canes I have from you guys.

I was honestly expecting a lesser quality for the price but this is very sturdy and amazing!

I enjoy this addition to my overall "look" as Bat Masterson. It is well made, looks great and is all that was promised in the description. This is a functional walking cane, but I use it as a prop, so I removed the rubber tip and attached a large upholstery tack to protect the exposed end.

I ordered this cane for my husband. He absolutely loves it! It was much nicer than we anticipated. We will order from you again.

Very well made, don’t really like the size of the foot cap yet it is very functional even in ice and snow

The pictures do not do this cane justice- It's beautiful and well made.

Husband hasn't seen it yet. I waiting to give it to him a a preformance in Calvert, TX. I know he will love it. He is a JP Morgan fan and to think he may have carried a cane like this one. Let you know later what he thought.

Super clean and looks like a walking stick for a gentleman of the era. You will fit right in either being the mayor of your Dickson's Fair, or being handed it by your clock works butler as you pilot your airship into the future that never was.The cane has a shine and gloss black finish that makes it as elegant as it is sinister, and the gold top really adds weight, and makes it feel like you paid way more then you did.So click buy now, twirl your mustache, tie a woman to some train tracks, and use your stick to fight off evil or good doers every where!

The walking stick is VERY nice, with good weight. However, the tip cap is large and clunky looking. I will probably remove it and replace it, it greatly detracts from an otherwise very nice walking stick.

A cane befitting of a carnival barker indeed. This cane is very high quality and the rubber safety tip is a nice touch (won't mark up floors). The cane itself is sturdy and could be used as an actual cane, albeit a really cool looking one. The bamboo aesthetic is AMAZING along with the fit and finish of the cane as well. Overall, definitely worth a purchase if you're looking for this type of cane to go with your outfit.

Great cane. Entirely satisfied!

If one must use a walking cane because of poor balance, which I have , this one is very good. It is made of real cane and is therefore very light because it is hollow. Being height challenged I needed it shortened. Then I went to a medical supply store and they installed a new rubber tip. I am rarely without this cane. Several friends who use canes have commented on the beauty and light weight of this necessity. A crook in the end makes the cane very easy to loop over your arm when you need 2 hands are hang from a counter in the kitchen while cooking. Not only is it a safety cane to steady me but also a handsome accessory.

THE CANE IS MADE VERY WELL. ALTHOUGH, I AM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED. THE COLORAZATION BETWEEN THE CROOK AND THE STAFF ARE DECIDEDLY DIFFERENT. THE CROOK (HANDLE) IS MUCH DARKER THAN THE STAFF. I THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO STEEL WOOL THE STAFF AND RE-STAIN IT TO A DARKER COLOR.

Seems well made, and sturdy enough for a modest sized adult. The tip is certainly orthopedic--a bear to get off in one piece--and I think most HE customers will want to remove it for a less clunky and more traditional look. I wish mine were darker, as it is depicted on the site, but I'm guessing consistent hue is difficult to achieve with bamboo.

I liked the looks of this cane on the website and thought it would be a good accessory for a re-enactment persona I will be performing later this year. I ordered it and when it arrived was blown away by just how much better it looked in person! This cane is the perfect combination of sturdy and stylish. It is a good value for the price. I removed the rubber tip and did a slight finish touch up to then end and voila, it was ready to become part of my persona. BONUS: the balance and weight of the Van Dyke Bamboo cane lends itself to balancing and twirling tricks, so if you're on the lookout for an addition to a showman or theatrical performer outfit, I highly recommend it.

The Van Dyke is both a usefull tool of stability and a stylish form of walking assistance. This cane is the eighth wonder.

I've looked long and hard for a functional bamboo cane. This fills the bill. I've already walked several miles with it and it is a perfect companion when I go out for a "wee stretch of the legs."

It is perfect and arrived fast. Thank you JUDY

Very satisfied.

Nice, elegant and robust. Very convenient. Highly recommendable

For the price I expected better quality, but it looks like a cane you would use for a Halloween costume, it looks very cheap.

This walking stick is superb! Very heavy, it can be used in defense if accosted by assorted scallywags, ruffians or hooligans on a spree. Highly recommended!

This cane is the real thing. Not some costume prop. Classy, understated, but gets the point across tastefully.

The skull cane went very well as an addition to my Halloween costume. I received many compliments. Again thank you

This is a sturdy piece of cane. The metal skull has good heft, feels good in the hand and I'm confident you could lay waste to any attackers.

I was surprised with the look and feel of this product. I purchased it for my son to match his skull cuff links that I gave him several years ago.

I gat the cane and liked it from the start. It is heavy well constructed and made to use.

My husband recently had a hip operation - way too cool and young to be walking around with any old cane. The skull cane is ideal, exactly as described, even better than the photo. People keep stoping us to ask where we got it! An excellent item.

Was surprised when I received this skull cane. This is a hefty cane with an impressively sized skull. Thought it was going to be a bit slimmer and smaller, daintier. Not complaining mind you. This is a bad ass cane, and even more so thanks to its heftiness. Definitely worthwile purchase.

like it very much with quality and price

I bought this cane as a gift for a disabled friend. When the box arrived, he said he was surprised how much it weighed. And when he opened it up, he was amazed at how beautiful and sturdy the cane was. In fact, his physical therapist approved it as a medical device so he can use it every day! My friend was overjoyed and feels quite stately now that he's starting to walk again. If you're considering this cane as an assistive device be sure to discuss it with your medical professionals, it might be suitable for you as well.

I purchased this for a friend who graduated from the University of Alabama whose mascot is the elephant. He was thrilled! It is a good looking cane.

This awesome elephant cane will be the hit of my outfit. It's strong and well built.

i'm in absolute denial about my age, and after a recent hospital stay, I realized that the early morning dog walk might require that I have some backup when going over a curb. I remembered I ordered a cane from historical emporium for my mom, and checked to see what might work for me. since I recently moved back to Georgia, the bulldog seemed like a no-brainer. I'm 6' tall and it's a perfect height and the dog face fits in the palm well. it's sturdy and exceeded my expectations

After much debate on what to wear for Comic Con this year (I vacillated between investing in a high-end Star Wars costume, the Bandersnatch from Alice in Wonderland, etc), I at last decided to go as a Victorian Doctor and purchased an ENTIRE outfit along with many accessories, all at the VERY last minute, from Historical Emporium. Everything I ordered was in stock (Woot!) and I upgraded the shipping to Next Day Air based on my indecisiveness and my waiting to order 3 days before Comic Con. I placed my order on Sunday night. My order arrived Tuesday! EVERYTHING I ordered was perfectly amazing and of high quality! I was (am!) blown away! AND, to top it all off, Historical Emporium refunded my Next Day Air Shipping ($63!) because I live in Southern California, which is within their 1 day ground shipping zone already. What? Who does that? Holy moly - what a great company, what outstanding service and what amazing products! I'd write more but Comic Con starts in 24 hours and I've got to get ready!

I cannot stress enough how great this company is. Great quality on all of their items. I ordered The Bulldog Cane back on Friday, Nov 9th, and choose the standard shipping, about 10 business days, but it arrived the following Wednesday. Superb. I will definitely be buying more from this website. Keep up the good work.

I really appreciate the quality of the product. It was as I expected. Nice grip on the handle and very sturdy. My husband needed good support and this product gave him the support he needed. Very stylish and I couldn't ask for a better product to express character. Thank You
