Up for bid is a beautiful old hand blown "End Of The Day" glass cane. It was purchased from an antique dealer in New Orleans about 10 years ago. The cane is very beautiful and it must have taken a lot of skill to make it. My photos do not do it justice. This lovely cane is 36 inches long. I did some research and found out the following information: Glass canes have been made by glassworkers since the mid- 1800s. Factory owners allowed workers to make their own small pieces, called whimsies, during off hours or from glass batches that were considered inferior. The workers made a variety of items -- canes, chains, bowls, rolling pins -- that they kept for their own use or sold to their neighbors. Glass canes are also called parade canes because workers often carried them in their unions' Labor Day parades.
