What is a Brass cane...

A brass cane realy is just the handle of a brass cane. The Brass cane handle is any alloy of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties.[1] Note that in comparison bronze is principally an alloy of copper and tin.[2] Despite this distinction, some types of brasses are called bronzes. Brass is a substitutional alloy. It is used for decoration for its bright gold-like appearance; for applications where low friction is required such as locks, gears, bearings, ammunition, and valves; for plumbing and electrical applications; and extensively in musical instruments such as horns and bells for its acoustic properties.

Brass has a muted yellow color, somewhat similar to gold. It is relatively resistant to tarnishing, and is often used as decoration and for coins.

Brass has likely been known to humans since prehistoric times, even before zinc itself was discovered. It was produced by melting copper together with calamine, a zinc ore. In the German village of Breinigerberg an ancient Roman settlement was discovered where a calamine ore mine existed. During the melting process, the zinc is extracted from the calamine and mixes with the copper. Pure zinc, on the other hand, has too low a boiling point to have been produced by ancient metalworking techniques. The many references to 'brass' appearing throughout the King James Bible are thought to signify another bronze alloy, or copper, rather than the strict modern definition of 'brass'.[3

A brass cane handle has many shapes such as: horse brass cane, skull brass cane, Regal brass cane, Dolphin brass cane, Alligator brass cane, States Men Brass cane, hidden chamber brass cane, Lady Nymph Brass cane, Jag Brass Cane, Golden Eagle Brass Cane and many many more.

But remember when buying a cane, any metal cane handle is hard on the hand. It will change your hand temperature from hot to cold or cold to hot. A Brass Cane will do this. So for a few hours it’s a great show piece but not for everyday.
