Created by the American School in the 19th century, these canes are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of that era. The first cane features an intricately carved scrimshaw baleen handle with a distinctive curved shape resembling a dog's head. It is paired with a tapering shaft adorned with an ivory spherule, adding elegance to its overall design.

Lastly, the third cane stands out with its ring handle and three baleen spherules, showcasing creativity in both form and function.
