Have no clue what this thing is,all I know is it is old and hand painted.i said maybe a pipe because it has a mouth piece looking thing at the end,but also looks like a thing that a king holds,I can't make out the makers mark it is a heart shape with some letters in it good luck!!!

I have no idea what this is...

Any way can get a pic of the whole ( metal / wood ? ) thing that is attached.. Just can't see the end of it..

I am going to bid on this just out of curiosity !

Already a fan, but watching !

To add pics, just go to the top of the page. You will see an "update" tab. Click on that.. You will see how to add them on that next page. Just hit "browse" and navigate to where ever your pics are stored in your computer.. Once you see your image, just "right click" and hit "select".. You can add as many as you like..
Let me know if you need more help...

I meant to say, "right click" on the image.. So with your mouse/pointer on the image, that is when you right click and then hit "select"..

bad guess. looking again, it is too heavy and thick for that.

i do believe i know what this is. way back in the day envelopes were not lick and seal you would seal then with candle wax and it you wanted to be sure the letter had not been opened or tappered with you would have a special stamper to stamp into the wax.... think about it ever watched a real old movie like robin hood{ not men in tights}

Still curious how long this is from end to end..

Can you also still add a picture for the end of the wooden part ?

What is confusing in trying to figure out what this is, is that the image on the ball is upside down if this were some kind of walking stick or something.. So what ever it was meant to be used for, the ball with the image must be the bottom part of this piece.. For the life of me I can not figure this thing out !

George I agree must be up side down I was honestly thinking it could be a table leg. Looks to short to be a walkinging stick and if we are right and it should be upside down it can't be a saptor or baton. table leg is my best guess. Wish we could see the top.
