ANTIQUE 1800s FOLK ART 3-DIMENSIONALLY HAND CARVED
EAGLE & SNAKE SILVER MOUNTED CROP / SWAGGER STICK / BATON
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This completely handmade Antique intricately detailed 3-dimensionally hand carved Eagle & coiled Rattlesnake riding crop / baton / swagger stick with fancy 3-dimensional silver embossed ferrule and fine leather appointments, dating from the late 1800's to the Mexican Revolution period. This is a hefty piece; about 28 1/4" long weighing 11.8 oz., with the fine wooden shaft tapering from about 1" diameter to 3/4" at the end. The exquisitely hand carved top is about 5" tall, including the 3-dimensionally embossed silver ferrule. The front to back measurement is about 1 3/4". The carving shows detail in the Eagles eyes, beak, wing feathers and claw holding down the snake head. The rattle snake is coiled around the textured cactus top and has 8 rattles to its tail: a large older snake. The ferrule has 3-dimensionally embossed scroll and leaf patterns with a band at the top and bottom; unmarked, and so is probably made from coin silver. The finely round braided 1/4" diameter dark tan calf skin leather wrist loop is about 7 1/8" long, with a flat braided 5/8" calf skin leather band attaching it to the wooden shaft. The tan colored wooden shaft is in fine condition, with the original lacquer or varnish. The shaft end has a wide tan leather popper with a V cut out, tooled border, and is affixed with a 1 7/8" wide flat braided calf skin band, en suite. This is a most interesting piece. It appears it started out in life as a fine 19th Century sculptured Eagle & Rattlesnake silver mounted cane that would have been custom made and commissioned by a wealthy Gentleman of means; and later professionally converted into a quirt befitting a Cowboy / Vaquero; or also used as a swagger stick / baton as could be carried by a High ranking Military Officer. This fine, fancy piece has nice, untouched aged patina overall and is in excellent condition. This completely handmade piece, and the leather overall has seen noticeably light usage; and is in fine, untouched, as found condition. This is certainly usable today as is and could also easily be recrafted and restored as a fine carved Eagle silver mounted cane if desired. Provenance: I purchased this at a saddle shop in Prescott, Arizona many years ago. The owner stated he obtained it over 20 years ago from an old timer in his 80’s who was a stunt man in the 1950’s, bought it in Mexico, and made it into a quirt for his own use. This would also perfect as a conversation piece, decorator, wall hanger, hung on a saddle horn, or for any quirt, crop, whip, Baton, Swagger Stick, Military, Cowboy, Cowgirl, Vaquero, Buckaroo, SASS, Old West, Western, Charro, Charrita, Wild West, Parade, Carved Folk Art, Western Americana or Western Mexicana display.

SELLER'S RETURN POLICY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EBay customers are protected when they are an eligible buyer, complete a purchase of an eligible item on a eBay's website, and purchase the item on eBay by using the "Pay Now" option, third-party checkout or an eBay invoice in one lump payment with a PayPal approved financial business. Buyers must keep their PayPal account in good standing. Buyers must show good faith conduct with the seller. Improper good faith conduct can include, but is not limited to, any means by which a buyer can attempt to unjustly benefit from the Seller's Terms & conditions or eBay's Buyer Protection plan. Moreover, good faith conduct does not include buyer's remorse, regardless of the reason. Returns will not be accepted such as changed my mind, Found a better price, Just didn't like it, Ordered by mistake, Arrived too late, etc.. Returns will not be accepted and buyers will be reported to eBay when buyer makes false claims such as doesn't match description or photos, doesn't seem authentic, Doesn't fit, Wrong item sent, Missing parts or pieces, Doesn't work or defective, Arrived damaged. If you wish to take advantage of any of the issue resolution options available from the seller, you must have the business courtesy to discuss any potential issue within 3 days of receipt,  and gain agreement with the seller prior to requesting a return through eBay, leaving feedback or initiating any online dispute process. By doing so, buyers commit to negotiate in good faith, and that they have not initiated any other form of resolution processing; including eBay / PayPal dispute process or credit card charge backs, or purchases where you have been or may be compensated by a third party. Possible buyer / seller resolution examples are: if seller and buyer agree that an item is significantly different than described and photographed, exchanging an item for a different item from the seller (whether listed or unlisted), credit from the seller against any current or future item, adjustment, trade, return, or any other arrangement that is mutually agreed upon between the seller and the buyer, and confirmed in writing via eBay's email system. These options are designed to expedite resolution of any potential issue quickly, easily and amicably, in lieu of eBay / PayPal on-line dispute resolution process which is lengthy, laborious, and allows decisions to be made by a 3rd party instead of the principals; i.e., the buyer & seller. Due to a myriad of International and U.S. Federal, State, Territory, County, City or Local law(s), ordinance(s), restrictions(s) or regulation(s), some articles shipped via U.S.P.S. may have restrictions and / or regulations that may apply to your article(s) shipped to a U.S. address. Buyers are responsible for knowing if any International, Federal, State, Territory, County, City or Local law(s), ordinance(s), restrictions(s) or regulation(s) may apply to your article(s) shipped to your ship to your address; and buyers are responsible for any loss if any prohibited or restricted item(s) shipped to your ship to address is confiscated for any reason. Any item returned must be pre-approved by the seller and received by seller within 7 days from receipt. If a buyer claims the item is damaged in shipping, it must send photographic proof on eBays email system, gain agreement with the seller, and item must be returned before buyer enters a feedback comment and before any exchange, credit or refund is issued. Buyer must use appropriate shipping, delivery confirmation and / or signature confirmation (items 0 ) and/or insurance at the buyers expense. Restocking fee, partial refunds and refunds are negotiable when buyers are dealing in good faith.
