Cue Cane 1

A first quick note: I did NOT make this.  I am taking pictures of it for reference in pictures where I have it (though I have re-furbished it a bit).

I found this in a thrift store, where initially we just believed it was an interesting-looking cane.  I opened it up and discovered the other half inside, but still did not yet suspect it could be put together as a whole.  It took a bit if work to loosen it up, but I discovered at tip COULD be removed and the two halves re-connected.  I also found that the handle itself came apart, though to what end I am not certain yet.

In the closeups you can see the decorations carved and painted into it.
