Kramer pimp cane from Dark Shadows???

[Hecubus114]

Whilst watching Seinfeld lastnight, I suddenly realized during the scene where Elaine gives Kramer the Jay Peterman cane, that I had seen it somewhere before... then it hit me - its the wolf's head cane from Dark Shadows. I know next to nothing about that show - was this a generic cane or specially made for the show? Anyway, here's a pic of the Dark Shadows cane - since Seinfeld Season 7 isnt out yet, I cant get a screencap from the episode. But if you follow the link below, you can see a clip on YouTube:

Kramer Pimp
(Note: watching this on TV, its much clearer that its the same cane)

yes, the cane was created just for dark shadows....

 

[Robot Monster]

WOW I have not thought of the cane in awhile. that was something I really wanted once upon a time.

I was always under the impression that it was a found item.

E-bay has them on sale ALL the time.

It is pricey though as I think it was made in Germany.

Shouldn't the captioning say "Actual Cane in Photo" to instead of "Actual Photo of Cane" to sound more authentic?

If I am not mistaken that is part of the ad for the cane. :lol



Just surfed in from the Bay and it looks like one seller has them for sale all the time.

Do a search for Silver alpacca wolfshead dark shadows walking stick.

The last one they sold went for 240.00 which is cheap as I remember these going for 500.00 to 800.00 a few years back.

I bought a few canes years and years ago from a place and they sold the exact Barnabas cane for a resonable price and the catalog despcription always said "Yes, this is the one" so I'm guessing it was a found item. I can't imagine anything on a cheap soap opera would be custom made, but honestly don't know. Geez, I loved that show when I was a kid, but the last time I saw any of it rerun I think I lasted ten minutes before turning it off. Let's just say it hadn't dated well. :lol

All you need is the hat and coat once you get the cane.

I still laugh everytime I remember how Kramer walked down the street in that one Episode when he was arrested for being a Pimp. :lol

The photo of the cane that was posted above looks like the one trekclassic uses in his ebay auctions. I have one of his canes and it is really nice, and I got it at a great price.

He gave me permission to post his pic.

Looks kind of like a Borzoi.

If you're going for the Kramer look, the cane used in Seinfeld is brown instead of black, and it has a goldish tint to the head.

The Technicolor Dreamcoat and hat would be a blast, but watching the episode made me want a Jiffy Park t-shirt.

WOW. I'll have to put mine up on Ebay now, unless someone here was interested.

 

[Hecubus114]

How much would you want?

 

[yodakiller1138]

PM sent.

I have one those canes. Bought it years ago. I don't think I paid more that $80 (directly from UniqueCanes) for it.

Odd.
