Longstreet General Longstreet's walking stick

[War Horse]

How much did they want for the walking stick?

$200 if memory serves me correctly. What a mistake

What a find . It's not as cool as a Longstreet walking stick from the Longstreet witness tree. To me it's a treasure, $30, no idea of its origin or what it's worth. Doesn't matter, I love it. The collection continues to grow

Seems you were reading my thoughts. I had wondered about the mug with the goggles and thought how that one may fit in my image of you....

I found an appropriate spot for my new walking stick. What do you think?

Wow!! Looks great, very noble and very expensive!
At first I even thought it was a sword! Definitely decorative! I'm sure you will be glad you purchased it whenever you walk by or look at it.
Congrats again.

This is very dangerous information in my hands. @Eleanor Rose, all responsibility for what happens Monday is on you. I simpally can't be held accountable.
