Chris I saw you on Antique Roadshow March 2013. My ancestor Charles Hall (born 1824) was a cane worker. He lived around the Bethnal Green / Southwark areas. I wondered in your inherited documents if you had lists of employees? thanks, Jude=

As a direct descendant Peter hobs do you have one of these? I am in Leeds and would be happy to send you it if you want. No cost just the postage. Email me at sue.h.emmerson@hotmail.co.uk if you are interested.
Kind regards
Sue

Sheri,
Your walking stick sounds very interesting. Without seeing a photo ,it is difficult to
Imagine what the umbrella/ seat /shooting stick would look like.
You might try using WorthPoints Ask a Worthologist service.

I bought a umbrella shooting stick, ingraved “the cadet seat” made in england, Howell London. I cannot find anything about this item. It does not have a leather seat just leather around handles. It is a black umbrella with screw on plate, it pulls out to a walking stick and also folds down to a seat. Do you have any info on what the value or a site that I can check out.
