Prior to the idea of canes being painted white in the 1930's, vision impaired people used canes of various colours and styles to assist them.

The wood is in good condition and looks little used, particularly given the lack of a protective tip at the base.Wooden walking stick with ornate metal topperThe letters 'GC' are engraved into a metal plate on the head of the stick.assistive devices, orientation and mobility, white cane -
