Hand carved walnut cane with various subjects one of which is a well uniformed baseball player leaning on a bat. Additional subjects include American eagle, sailor, fireman, and cat. Retains fine original patina with expected wear to the top handle area from use. The cane was fashioned by Union soldier John Tracy while a prisoner at the infamous Confederate prison at Libby Warehouse in Richmond, VA. The prison was noted for its horrible living conditions which perhaps were an inspiratiion for Tracy to carve the offered cane with more pleasant content matter. Signed in carving by Tracy at the top
