Antique Red CIRCUS / CARNIVAL Prize CANE w BASEBALL

Back in the 1920s, if you could pop a few balloons with darts or throw a rope ring around a bottle, you might win one of these delightful canes. I’ve had several, most with dice or dog heads, but this is the first one I’ve found with a porcelain baseball knob. And there is something a little special about this one. The “winner” carved his initials in the shaft. He wanted to be sure everyone knew it was “he” who successfully got over on those carnival people.
