Walking Sticks

Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-202 -- More Projects »

This glass cane looks like stick candy and has a $150 price tag.

Host Ralph Kovel takes a stroll back in time with antique walking canes at the Scott's Flea Market in Atlanta.

There he speaks with Myron Boc, who deals in rare walking sticks, including animal-head canes that sell for around $500 each.

The dog's-head handle on this cane is carved from ivory. It sells for $500.

Some canes are priced as high as $1,000 each. The more unusual the cane, the higher the price. The cane seen here has an insect carved into the handle.

Canes with handles of ivory, gold or other precious materials are more valuable.

Canes with ornate wood carvings are also highly prized by collectors. This one is valued at $350.

Many canes have hidden tools. Some even conceal weapons such as swords. This cane doubles as a telescope.

This is a collection of children's walking sticks, which served as fashion statements for wealthy kids around the 1900s. They are more expensive than the larger counterparts because fewer of them were made.
