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

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 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.

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

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.

I was impressed with the care taken in packaging when my cane first arrived. I purchased for daily use after a recent back surgery. It has now been almost a week and I can write an honest review. The finish on the head is starting to chip and peel which leads me to believe it's nothing more than a piece of coated brass. It does have some considerable weight to it though. It threads on to interchange with other heads and there is a collar to hide the transition from metal head to wood cane. This collar does not line up perfectly. I believe it's from the screw not being perfectly centered in the cane for the head to screw on to. Other than that it's a perfect fit for my 6' 1", 235 lb, monkey arm frame and I have had no reservations about putting my whole weight on it. As far as the "geriatric" looking rubber tip, it IS REMOVABLE WITHOUT CUTTING IT OFF. It just takes some elbow grease to get it worked off. All in all it's a quality constructed, uniquely styled cane I never would have found locally.

The selling points for the cane were appearance (dignified, not garish), rugged (it can support my weight), and just the right height.

I received the Tycoon Cane much earlier than expected. Arrived in excellent condition. I am very pleased with it. I did wish it had a SMALL rubber tip instead of the large one. No issues though....a great add to my look!

This is a nice cane for the money. Wish it came a little longer with a hard tip at the bottom...or some type of tip you could screw on and change out for different looks, instead of rubber casing.

Overall, this is a nice cane. The only concern is the rubber tip which is quite visible and is not period accurate. Other than that, it does compliment the suit.

Just the perfect cane to accent our daughters victorian era wedding.....very stylish and well made.

great looking, sturdy, will take off the rubber protector on the bottom for a normal, classic look. Nice metal/stainless steel finish on the handle.

Excellent look and weight

Great quality!

I feel like I'm rich, and important, and f'ing awesome when I walk around with this cane! It's way higher quality than I expected. I'll probably use it until the day I die (in about 80 years).

I wasn't sure what to expect, but this cane is the real deal. It outfitted my look perfectly and actually works as a cane very well. I had no worries about putting my full weight on it at all.

a simple but stylish cane, the removable stopper is a great feature

A high quality product. For the price paid, this more than meets my satisfaction in regards to the weight, feel, and look of this product.

The cane has a good solid weight and heft. It does not feel like an accessory for show, but like it should be used to walk everywhere, every day.

I was looking all over the web for a simple walking stick that wasn't too showy but could also be useful in fancier situations. I was about to give up when I found this site. The number of items I want to buy here is astounding and I would certainly blow all my extra cash here if my girlfriend wouldn't flip out on me! The cane was perfect (except for the geriatric style rubber end...but it was simple to remove). I will definitely be back for more!

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.

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.
