It is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. It was developed by the Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907. Bakelite was patented on December 7, 1909. The creation of a synthetic plastic was revolutionary for its electrical nonconductivity and heat-resistant properties in electrical insulators, radio and telephone casings and such diverse products as kitchenware, jewelry, pipe stems, children's toys, and firearms. The "retro" appeal of old Bakelite products has made them collectible.[3] DID YOU KNOW The discovery of 130 canes and walking sticks inside the tomb suggest not only the opulence of even the most mundane artifacts, but evidence that King Tut needed assistance walking. The brutal realities of Tut are not likely to diminish the panache, however. ?It makes him all the more human,? says Dr. Howard Markel, a medical historian at the University of Michigan, ?and all the more fascinating.? The cane has a long history, traced to Egyptian history through depictions in hieroglyphics even before the discovery of the hundred plus canes.

I do not believe that a antique cane should be used for support. When these were made it was more as a fashion statement and not a means of support. Everybody carried a cane in the days of old.
