    Vintage
    Antique
    Swaine Adeney Ltd
    Piccadill, London
    Walking stick, cane
    Handle folds out to form seat (chair)
    Useful for long walks, hunting, birding, etc.
    Hardwood shaft
    is in overall good condition, but has multiple scuffs.  What I judge to be the worst of them is shown in one of the photos.  No cracks or other serious issues.  The wood might benefit from refinishing (e.g. fresh lacquer).
    The
    metal parts
    (aluminum, I am
    guessing
    ) show wear and scuffs but are in good functional condition.
    The seat
    appears to be made from tough fabric covered with leather.  The leather is de-laminating in areas, as shown.  There is also a ~ 1 cm tear in the leather along one edge of the seat, but this does not appear to extend through the underlying structural fabric.  This tear is shown from above and from below in two of the photos.  The leather feels dry and would probably benefit from treatment with lanolin or similar.  No evident problem with actual seat function.
    Folded-up length (top of handle to tip of spike) about 35 inches
    Folded-out length (seat surface to tip of spike) about 29 inches
    Ships to USA only
    Before you bid, please read this description carefully and look at the photos carefully.  Ask questions beforehand.  I don't want the buyer to have any surprises.  This item is handsome, cool and unusual (IMO), and functions, but it's not in mint condition!
