A rare cane with a Ronson lighter patented about 1920 in the handle is one of the great cane rarities. Canes have included a sword, gun, flask, fishing pole, violin and bow, perfume flask, erotic pictures, pipe or even a buggy whip and all of these gadget canes bring strong prices. The Ronson lighter cane made of Mallacca probably was a reward for a Ronson salesman. Gary Durow, Antique Cane World, Lansing Mich. priced it at $5,500.
