Super Rare 19th Century Spiked Billy Club or Baton

This is a super rare spiked nineteenth century billy club in a beautiful reddish wood. All the spikes are present, but just are not lined up correctly. The club has a slit through the body where a leather strap could be inserted to pull the steel rod in the club: when this takes place, the spikes protrude.

Circa 1889.

13-3/8" length and 1-3/16" diameter.

Wood, metal.

PAT.'D SEP 1.24.89.

This is from a police-related collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJDEX02 LAGEJX9/10 SACHJX4/16

7- (Very Fine-): Club has one small chip at base and a few small, shallow cracks.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
