A few examples of appraisal values for
KNOBKERRIE

• SILVER KNOBKERRIE CANECa
  SILVER KNOBKERRIE CANECa 1880-Ball shaped metal handle covered with a beautifully braided silver wire wrapping and its slim and plain silver collar on a malacca shaft and a long white metal ferrule. The weighty ball is fitted with an equally heavy and long stem walled in the shaft and makes of this cane, in the right trained hands, a redoubtable and devastating disguised weapon. The cane shows the right amount age marks and also possible of violence signs to increase its appeal and not diminish its value and is praised by a grown age patina. Notable is that the initial definition of a knobkerrie, also spelled knobkerry, knobkierie, and knopkierie (Afrikaans), is a form of club used mainly in Southern and Eastern Africa. Typically, they have a large knob at one end and can be used for throwing at animals in hunting or for clubbing an enemy's head. The name was taken over by the English cane terminology and is duplicate of Live-Preserver Cane, Canne Casse-Tête in French or Lebensretter in German. Furthermore, it has the crossover appeal of associating with more than one collecting field to make it a desirable and great collectable. H. 1 ½” x 1 ½”, O.L. 34 ¼”
