Tan color cane with a two opposed node pattern set in a spiral. The main wraps are light brown with small black edges at the keeper and ferrules. The stripping guide is oxidized and the snake guides are bronzed. The varnish coat is very good although there are traces of white rubbing compound under all the guides and on the reel seat. The step ferrules are oxidized jet black. The grip is 5 3/4" long and turned to a very blunt cigar similar to a Garrison. The cap and ring seat are oxidized with no die stamp or engraving.

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
