John Wayne Walking Stick

This unique walking stick was carved for Mr. Wayne and presented to him on the movie set of “The Big Trail”.  The freeform cane is 48” in length and the hand piece is in the shape of a camels head and is approx. 7” x 7”.  The cane has raised, carved letters on one side that reads, “Scottie - The Big Trail - June 3, 1930” and on the other side, “Jackson Hole, Wyo”.

The man who carved this piece, Scottie, was the horse wrangler on the movie set. The cane has been signed by everyone who participated in the making of the movie. There are 68 legible signatures and among them are: John Wayne, “Duke” Morrison, Ward Bond.  A list of the 68 names will follow on this page.

This cane has been authenticated by Mr. Waynes son, Michael and has been appraised by 2 reputable auction houses.

Asking price is $30,000.00 (Considerable less than the appraisals.) OBO

This piece has been kept wrapped and protected from sunlight and has no damage.
