Antique Cane Map

Depending on your Cane Map, you can expect anywhere from $100 to $5,000 depending on the year and design. Below are some great pictures by Cheyanne displaying her antique cane she’s considering selling.

Here is what she writes:

HELLO, i came across your email address on a forum at Contact cane sellers, my grandfather has a map cane from the 1930′s and is looking to find the value and or maybe sell it.

Above are a few images and here is what is on the label/sticker of the cane. The American Legion Convention 1940-Paul Revere Rides Again.

Does anyone have any information on this map cane and what it might be worth?

Thanks,

Cheyanne

Have a gadget cane that pops out a map? If so, send me pictures and I’ll get it listed for you. If you know what a listed here might be worth, please leave a comment and help out! – Thanks!

    The 1893 Novelty Cane was the first such map ever made. The Columbian Novelty Company invented the genre. Most such maps date to the 1920s – 1940s or even later. So that particular cane is exceptionally important. I have not seen other cane maps attain even remotely similar prices.

    Best,

    Hi Cheyanne,

    I found a couple of cane maps on the internet, one was just like yours and listed as such:
    Here we have a special item.It is an American Legion convention Boston 1940 walking cane. It is made of wood with a steel band close to the handle. Hidden within this cane is a spring loaded pull out map of Boston and all its sites. It is in great condition and is a rare item. On the top end of the cane there is a silver and black insignia bearing a picture of a midnight rider on horseback, underneath this it says “Paul Revere rides again”.

    This gadget cane sold for $134.93 in Feb of 2011.

    The other cane was a 1893 Novelty Cane Map of the Chicago World’s Fair or Columbian Exposition and listed for $2,500.00 but could not find out how much it sold for.

    Hope that helps! And thanks for sharing!
