Circa 1905 Antique Shooting Stick Cane Bamboo Folding Chair

Introducing an antique shooting stick.

A shooting stick is a walking stick that can be turned into a simple chair by opening the handle, and was apparently used for hunting and watching horse races.

This item is estimated to date to the early 20th century, and there is an engraving that appears to be in French, but the details are unknown.
The thick bamboo shaft is reinforced with gold-plated metal parts.
The bamboo shaft is prone to cracking, but it is reinforced with metal parts and is quite durable.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
