Description: This 1920s presentation cane was given to Cincinnati Judge Samuel W. Bell as a Christmas gift in 1928. Judge Bell was a blind judge who founded the Home for the Sightless in Cincinnati. He once sentenced electrician Ray Burke to 5 days in jail for "disturbing the peace" when Bell was on the job, hammering outside the judge's courtroom. A horn handle, measuring 3-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches, tops a 1-1/2-inch collar with shield with the engraving "Judge Samuel W. Bell Christmas 1928". Malacca shaft and bi-metal tip. 35 inches overall. It comes with the attached sign and its own folklore. This would be an interesting cane for someone in the legal community.
