    The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was founded on the North American Continent in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 26, 1819 when  the
    members of the Order from England instituted Washington Lodge No. 1. This lodge received its charter from Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows in England.
    By profession this collector was an artist and instructor and a cane collector by passion. He seemed to focus on collecting eclectic canes.  He seems to have spent time  enthusiastically  researching and  collecting walking sticks for over 30 years . This collector amassed an extensive collection of walking sticks that included gadgets, historical, glass, weapons, unusual objects and folk canes. His tastes were eclectic, though with a consistent preference for fine materials and distinctive designs.  His instinctive good taste, intellectual curiosity, and pure pleasure in buying shaped the remarkable collection.
    ...FOR AN AVID   COLLECTOR of  the Unusual!
    During the 18th century, a cane was as much a part of a well turned out gentleman’s attire as a snuffbox and starched collar, and walking sticks served more than one purpose.  Few cane makers marked their work so it’s difficult to trace the origin, but sometimes you can tell by a craftsman’s style, and you can often date a cane by the design. Age, rarity and quality of workmanship are what collectors’ desire.
