This gambler's cane comes complete with cup, spinning wheel top, set of small dice and a pencil. You gently unscrew the top to find the spinning wheel and the dice (the cup/top half holds these pieces). Then, if you hold the shaft at the brass collar and very gently turn the ivory cup holding it at the base of the cup and then twist, the cup will unscrew from the brass collar. Remove it from the shaft and you will find a very thin pencil resting in the shaft. The knob handle is 1 - 1/2" high by 1" across the top. There is a brass collar and is mounted on a rosewood shaft with a 1" replaced metal ferrule. The overall length is 35 - 1/4". The condition is excellent.
Condition: (Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 35 - 1/4" x 1 - 1/4" x 1 - 1/4".
