A charming early 20th-century walking stick featuring a finely carved ivory handle in the form of a dog's head, likely a retriever or similar breed. The detailed carving captures the animal’s gentle expression, complete with flopped ears and dark inset glass eyes. The dog wears a metal collar mount with black enamel buckle details, which transitions into a straight, honey-toned shaft with a brass ferrule.
Dimensions approx.: 35.25" overall length
