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 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

This cane is high quality , really nice .

Got this to polish off a gambler outfit I put together for CAS. I have a bum ankle and need a good cane from time to time. Looks great, feels good in hand, only detractor would be the rubber cap on the foot. It'd be nice to have a brass ferrule.

Great cane and it's well made. I bought this to go with my old west gambler outfit for when I want to classy up the joint. I also have a bad ankle and so this was a big help that looks good too. The head screws on but holds tight and is comfortable. My only issue is that it has a rubber boot on the bottom. I was hoping I could replace it was a brass tip and attach a rubber foot on the bottom of that. I'll figure something out. Otherwise I'm extremely happy with this.

Due to an injury, I needed a functional cane, so I thought I'd get which is Victorian period correct. I got several compliments on the cane when I used the cane at a Western event. The quality and visual impact is excellent. It's heavy and solid and the brass handle is beefy. I made the right choice.

Love the looks and feel. I wish it was a little longer, I was using an expandable one for a few week until I found and received this one and the extra inch or two seemed to be better, however this one is the height all the expert say should be right for me, If they could make an inch or two longer and allow customers to cut to right height (which it come with instructions for shorter people to cut and put the cap back on. It would be perfect, I love it.

This cane is Great the Quality it Great and my husband will be using it in Oct dowm in Tombstone.

Comfortable, sturdy and a pleasure to hold. Great Value!!

I thought the Brass /Walnut Cane I just purchased was a great buy both in quality of product and style. I just had total Knee replacement surgery 5 days ago and just returned from the hospital. I plan to use the cane as part of my re-hab process as soon as I finish with the walker in about a week. My PT therapist said she thought it look very elegant and I agree. I will likely use it after I don't need it.

Cane is usable as a walking aide. Goes great with or without my Steampunk attire. Also came with instructions on how to size the cane to properly use as a walking aide.

Gift for my son. His assessment: Striking to look at, beautiful balance. The perfect accessory to keep ruffians at bay during late night strolls.

I had this cane sized and I enjoy it. Friends and strangers have asked to try it and they too like it for its sturdiness and good looks.

Made in USA makes my day anyway ! The Derby Hardwood Cane with real Solid Brass handle Looks well and does it's cane work well. Myself being a beatup old Marine I need to have an edge in bad neighborhoods, which I always legally do ! Classy looking cane with a little something extra for the bad guys: Cane Fu and a large knot on the bad guys head is just an extra "Ace In The Hole". Excellent Quality at an affordable price is the way we did business in America for a long long time and Historial Emporium is still diong that. Also credit must also go The the 100 year old Harvey Cane Co, where my cane was made. Woody Won't Settle For Junk !

Pretty

This is a very solid cane. I like the aesthetic of it as well as the functionality. The solid bronze handle may be a little too slick for your liking but it is perfect for mine. No blemishes or burrs of the handle, very comfortable to use, and doesn't feel like it will ever give. I did have to trim an inch and a half off the bottom for optimal comfort but that's to be expected as one size doesn't fit all. I need a cane these days to help me out when strolling about and it's great to have one that looks classy and is completely functional.

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.
