I read, many years ago, of a cane used on America's first Frigates by some officers. It was a 3-piece cane that could be unscrewed into three shorter sticks for easier storage on the cramped ship. Under the top of the handle, which screwed off, was a sundial, and if you screwed off the whole head of the cane there was a good-sized vial with a cork that could hold some liquor. I made a trip to Boston many years ago and we went to see the USS Constitution, on display there. In the gift shop was an exact copy of the cane I have just described, and it was beautiful. My wife bought it for me as a gift, and it rests behind me in the corner as I type this (the brass needs polishing.) It is called a "tippler cane" as I recall. I am very happy to possess it. :)

Very cool!!!

I have a nice, early 19th century sword cane: bamboo shaft, staghorn knob, silver fittings, eyelets for a thong, and a triangular blade with partial bluing and gilding. I also have a type of defensive cane not mentioned here: a "penang-lawyer", with a rattan shaft, and a lead ball for a knob, covered with knotwork. There's also the "shooting stick", or "rest stick": one can unfold the the handle to provide a sort of seat, upon which one can support oneself in the field, etc.

@@iainclark1599 We'll never carry real swords again because they would be so inconvenient. A sword strapped to one's belt isn't going to fit with driving or riding in a car. Carrying the scabbard without strapping it to a belt is likewise going to be inconvenient. Most swords don't hold weight in a way that will make them comfortable walking sticks or canes. A sword cane would be a different story. While the blade would not be as effective as a real sword blade would be, a good point and a little bit of edge would have a deterrent effect against many street thugs. While the street thugs might begin to carry them, I don't see street thugs wanting anything that will weigh them down that much. The thugs are already carrying bladed weapons most of the time, so the risk of street thugs with blades doesn't change.

The brass cane tip, unscrews and is places where the whip previously was while the buggy whip brass tip is screwed onto the cane tip end; the liquor cane has a top know which unscrews and reveals a small cork inserted into a long glass vile where liquor is hidden; a cobra swird cane with a brass cobra head which has a small 15” metal blade attached.
