Extremely Tactile Rare Original 19th Century Billy Club, Excellent gift!
Located in Red Lion, PA
19th Century Turned Wooden Billy Club, Perfectly Weighted with Rich Dark Patina A beautifully crafted 19th-century wooden billy club, lathe-turned from a single solid piece of hardwood, showcasing the fine craftsmanship and functional design of the period. Perfectly weighted for balance and control, this antique club was made for durability and ease of handling. The surface has developed a gorgeous deep brown patina, highlighting the smooth grain and character of the wood. Its gently tapered form and rounded end make it both visually striking and tactilely satisfying, a testament to the skill of its original maker. The piece remains strong and structurally sound, with just the right heft, ideal for display, collection, or personal / theatrical use. A small section of the rim near the handle has been intentionally flattened, likely to allow the club to rest securely on a flat surface without rolling. This antique billy club...
