Antiques M.S. Rau | English Bird Catcher’S Cane

Topped By An Antler Handle Is This Intriguing English Bird Catcher’S Cane. The Handle And Mirrored Octagonal Segment Below Detaches From The Shaft. The Mirrored Segment Is Then Placed Back On The Cane Using The Eyelet And Provided Amount That Allows The Mirror To Spin. The Pointed Ferrule Allows The Cane To Be Staked Into The Ground, And When The Mirror Is Spun, The Reflected Flashes Of Sunlight It Creates Attract The Attention Of Birds, Tempting Them To Come Take A Closer Look.
