 Let's talk Dike's Gadgets (8969)
It occurred to me when I started to write about gadget canes that as a collector she was just like me. She didn’t just like rare gadgets; she just liked all of them. From looking at her collection it’s my opinion, she liked gadgets best, folk art second and silver third. Hard stone and enamels were obviously missing. I got curious about her entire collection as I only saw half of it. I’m probably the only person in the world to look at every cane in Cane Curiosa that belonged to her. I was surprised to see she had over 65 gun canes, 40 sword canes, 34 tobacco, 20 telescopes, 21 musical, and 17 lighting. She had over 450 of her own gadgets illustrated in Curiosa. She had the best gun cane collection the world will ever see through the eyes of Cane Curiosa. I guess I’ll say it would at least be a close race between her and Francis Monek, but she had the machine gun cane, the most expensive gun cane in the world. She also had the fifteen shot repeater and several cased sets. She also had the most common canes ever made, the 3 piece pencil, smoking, and tipplers. We were exactly the same, I like them all, expensive and not. Following are a few examples of my favorites, the ones I don’t have.
