Offered in this lot are two handmade folk/ tramp art canes from the early 1900's. The first of these canes has a dog head (greyhound) at the top. The cane has a carved Greyhound head and around the body of the cane are the words “Tramp Lake Cane". The second cane has the head of a "Sailor" man with a cap. "Tramp Art" and "Folk Art" have no written records of the carvers' work. The stories of this art form became the facts; the misconceptions became the truths. There were no rules for constructing the pieces. Materials were whatever the carver had available to make works to sell. Both the canes measure 35". Both canes show wear and minor damage from use and age. Tramp Art is also a wanderer's art form, so, again, there are no written records of the carvers' work. Within the context of his own imagination, experience, and abilities, the carver assimilated what he saw with what he had to work with. He then translated and created what he saw into works of art by using his pocketknife and the ever-present cigar box.
