(RP) This quite possibly has a gold filled handle. I do not know; most of these older canes are coming up gold filled in theresearch, it's at least brass. The handle itself is very ornate. It depicts 3 women around the side and one on top. They all appear to be posing either in the nude or partially nude. The cane itself is metal (used a magnet on it) wrapped tightly in leather. The bottom tip is a solid metal, it could be all one piece.  This belonged to a Gentleman by the name of Don Nugent,  who once lived in Southern New Jersey.  This is a pretty unique walking stick/cane. It's one of the best made I have ever seen.  Thanks for your interest.
