426A. DEVIL'S DEN GETTYSBURG CANE WITH EMBEDDED PISTOL BALL A wooden relic cane from Gettysburg, 31" long, a section of a tree limb with a larger knob at the end which bears a clearly visible small caliber pistol ball protruding from the knob. The top of the shaft bears a period ink notation reading: "Devil's Den Gettysburg, Pa. July 1-2-3, 1863". The cane bears old, period varnish worn on places. No doubt this wood was cut at Devil's Den, scene of some of the sharpest fighting on the second day of the battle. This is the first such bullet-embedded cane we have encountered. $750-1,000
