sissydear Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 It could have been a drawer pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBlock Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 It's a French parasol handle finial. They were the caps on the bottom of umbrellas. It might also be from a French walking stick, one of the thin ones. What is the diameter of the hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi Bob and thanks with the scratches on this that would make sence , the hole is about 3/8 and about a 1/2 inch deep , the hole towards the out side is smaller because the glazing is also on a small part of the inside . the rest of the hole is unglaced , also looks like it was held on by some glue/ plaster ?? Do you or any have a picture of one ?? also it is about 1.195 a little bigger than 1 3/16 at the equator and from the flat to the top it is 1.100 .

mmuehlba Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 well I think I see one that is all blue called a This is a very cool piece. This cane is a wonderfully crafted blue porcelain knob cane from the Dayton Circus 1910. This is a very cool and interesting piece and it would make a wonderful addition to collection. It measures approximately 35" tall, while the ball measures 1" in diameter.
