airtwist cane


DR. Hillary, I was finaly able to get photos of the airtwist cane that Harry and Charly Gibson made. The only way to discribe it is THE ULTIMATE AIRTWIST. Harry prided himself in being able to make these canes he gave most of them away, There are only two left that I know of. Thanks Larry T.

Anyone making canes now ?
Can one use these canes, my Mom needs a walking aide, she might accept a glass art cane.
Open question to the entire group.

Hi Hilary and All,
It was fun for us to see this cane. We have a very similiar one for sale at Kissin Kates. It was made by Bob Hamon and was obtained from his estate.
Thanks! Linda (Kissin Kates)

Hi Sue and All,
I have a confession to make and you might as well all know. I do not know how to use a digital camera. Yes, I know, I am a dinosaur!!
Husband Tim takes all the photographs for the Kissin Kates website. He also has a "day job", which is one of the reasons my website is sometimes out of date.
My advice is this: if we have a piece in the store in which you are interested, contact us through our website and Tim will make sure you get a photo and price.
We have found that frequently when we respond to a blog everyone has already moved on to another subject.
And to the lady that asked if these could be used as a functional cane - NO!!!
True confessions from Kissin Kates;
