29 canes

One of my favorite spots in my grandfather's house is this area near the stairs. We spent a few days with him and my step-grandmother, Josie, in New Jersey. Grandpa told me about his favorite cane, which he bought in England. There is one that is beautifully carved, from Pakistan, another that is made of all glass that was his fathers (my great grandfather who lived to be 100), several with brass tops, not to be used as support, but a fashion cane.
