Hi there.
I’ve just been helping family clear out some old items and we’ve come across this walking stick. Grandparents believe it be 100+ years old and would love any help in indentifying the marks on it.
Anything would be greatly appreciated!!!
Possibly made by Charles Cooke (C.C), London 1890-95

I agree that the mark is that of Charles Cooke, a known maker of mounts for sticks (but not of the stick itself). He is known to have supplied silver mounts to Thomas Brigg & Sons a major manufacturer of sticks, whips, umbrellas, etc. The date letter (the lowest of the 3 components of the hallmark in your picture) looks like S for 1893.
