The Treasure Walking Stick
This incredible walking stick has some of the most memorable quotes from the great Humphrey Bogart Movie The Treasure of Sierra Madre. The quotes that I hand-carved onto the one inch oak shaft are: "Can you help a fellow American down on his luck?" "Ah, as long as there's no find, the noble brotherhood will last but when the piles of gold begin to grow… that's when the trouble starts." "I know what gold does to men's souls." "I think I'll go to sleep and dream about piles of gold getting bigger and bigger and bigger." "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" But like people, its what's inside that counts and inside this amazing walking stick are: 10 Carets of raw diamonds legally mined from the African Congo, 1 Gram of gold nuggets that were panned from the Yukon Territory, and 5 One Gram silver ingot rounds (The Prospector) See photo below. The gold nuggets are in a glass vial that can be removed and worn as a necklace if desired. The handle is gold colored brass with a wooden pattern. Very comfortable in the hand. This walking stick is suitable for any needs. Shaft Material: Oak Handle Material: Brass Length: 36 inches

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I retired from the USAF after 28 years and now I make canes, walking sticks, jewelry and art pieces full time. The Quotable Walking Stick is a concept that I started. I find rare, unusual, and/or antique items to make into walking stick handles. Then I find an appropriate quote from literature, movies, music or elsewhere that I feel compliments the user.
Quotes have always been an important part of my life. It is comforting to know that others we admire think along the same lines as we do. I hope you will find one that speaks to you.

For walking cane with skeeter logo5.0My husband was extremely pleased with his new walking cane. The detail work is very impressive. We would definitely go through custom made again and particularly this maker. He was great at keeping me up to date on the project and sending pictures along the way. A very pleasant experience.
