Vintage 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair Sky Ride Cane Walking Stick Bent Wood 35" For Sale

Vintage 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair "Sky Ride" Souvenir Bent Wood Cane

• I'm offering this souvenir walking cane commemorating the Sky Ride, the architectural symbol and signature attraction of Chicago's 1933–34 Century of Progress World's Fair
• The Sky Ride was a transporter bridge with two 628-foot towers spanning 1,850 feet across the fairgrounds, carrying rocket-shaped cars that transported 4.5 million passengers over the fair's lagoon before being demolished after the exposition closed
• Embossed copper band on the shaft reads "Chicago World's Fair Sky Ride" with "19" and "33" flanking a small illustration of the ride
• Steam-bent wood crook handle, classic cane construction of the period
• Good condition with some splitting of the wood right at the bend where it was originally steam-bent, along with normal wear expected of a nearly 100-year-old item
• Measures 35" long from tip to top of the curve; the curve is 6" across, with a shaft diameter of just over 3/4"

Item Condition: Good condition with some splitting of the wood right at the arc where the cane was originally steam bent, showing normal wear expected of an item nearly 100 years old - see photos for a full condition assessment.
