Silver Cane Top from last week

[CTTodd]

This bit of bling was found at the Muster Field hunt that I was taken to in NH

It had a copper top to it but it crumbled as soon as it was dry.

Yes they appear to be PB

That's a beautiful find, Todd! I agree that the initials appear to be PB. What a neat piece of history!

:congrats:

Its a bit smaller looking for a cane in my opinion Todd and a cane would be an unusual thing to find on a muster field , but I can see it having more merit as a personalized piece to an officer's riding crop

or even a powder shot measuring cup . Can you post a close up of the initials , i'd like to see the detail and craftsmanship in the writing.

I don't think a powder measure, but maybe a crop or some other personal item. look at the small markings after the initials. Esquire ?54203542045420354205

Damn, how'd I miss this from your original post. Anyways, great find Todd!

Nice find. I wonder if it would ever be possible to find out who it once belonged to, from the PB initials.
