Two 18th century French massives from Segas (8421)
I was in the Segas family cane shop in Paris, which has some some canes with 1 1/2"+ shafts, with prices that give honor to their rarity. The light color one is 2.25" D in cabbage wood.It is late 18th and early 19th century and is in great condition. I've never seen a larger one of this wood, and would be quite unique, with a price of 1000 Euro's.
The other one is a knobby hardwood with a burled handle from the late 18th century at 1300 Euro's. This one is over 2.5"D. I said they had some, they are certainly rare compared to the massive amount of canes in his shop. Look at them in comparison to the standard sized one next to them.
