The shaft is made from sheesham and stained with an antique cherry finish.  From the handle it tapers down to a non-slip rubber tip. Three sections are screwed together but can be taken apart for compact transport. The handle is the real prize.  The top states Would be lost without you. The side chain is connected with a screw that can be unscrewed and then take off the top to expose a small telescope.  All the metal work is real brass. Overall Length:  38.25 Inches.
