A very interesting example of a Civil War souvenir cane which was cut from the Antietam battlefield and presented to a possible veteran. The cane is carved "ANTIETAM BATTLE FOUGHT SEPTEMBER 17, 1862. / PRESENTED TO MR. WILLIAM ALLEN." Unfortunately, the name William Allen is too common to permit certain identification of the owner. Nevertheless, this is still a nice example of a Civil War cane which are seldom encountered with presentation carvings. Measures approximately 36 - 1/2". CONDITION: The cane was lacquered and exhibits a pleasing finish. Scattered blemishes from handling.
Item Dimensions: 36 - 3/4"
