I love when someone got something because they liked it, and there's such a return. They got the piece, not because they wanted to make money, but because they loved and appreciated what they got. Yay!
You can tell the owner loves & has carefully studied that cane. Wouldn't it be interesting if he, not the appraiser, was correct & the cane was crafted by someone in Louisiana. Surely surely SURELY there are more canes like this out there waiting to be discovered. It would be amazing to be able to put a name to the incredible craftsperson who made this cane & reunite it with some of its intricately carved brothers & sisters wherever they are.
Wow, that is a honey of a piece of carving! That's the type of cane, cane and folk art collectors go nuts for. I'm neither but at 250.00 I'd have jumped on that, value be jiggered! Sweet.
Just a random thought: I wonder if the artist was Black? I think that back in the day, many Black artists couldn’t sign their name to their art if they wanted to sell it in a market that might look down on them. I think Antiques Roadshow had one lady bring in a painting that her relative had done where she used a pseudonym or didn’t sign it for that reason. I don’t recall. It’s a wonderful carving.
The appraiser himself said “crocodile or alligator”, as well as the fact that the the American Crocodile (Crocodylus Acutus) is, shockingly, native to North America. So, the appraiser wasn’t incorrect on either point. At least be accurate on part of what you say, bud.
Absolutely shameful & unfounded VAV (verbal approximation of value). The show rarely gives anything close to actual "appraised" fair market value based on comparable items. I rarely watch this type of non reality entertainment now and am more often then not appalled. Appalled for the poor people who are mislead to believe something is worth far greater then it is or ever will be. It is incredibly unethical of so called "experts" to be a party to this charade simply to amp up a show and or themselves. Most reputable and accredited appraisers left the show rather early on, leaving mostly auction house Gallerie owners and dealers. How do I know this? I was an appraiser & private consultant invited on in San Francisco years ago. I would not be a party to the on air staging or unethical back stage politics that I soon encountered, all merely for "good tv" sake. Most televised items interestingly were however in fact pre planned & invited on. Meaning already held in a sellers or private collection with some history & current appraisal. That I too however was party and did participate in. Such items were used to both add balance and round out a series of shows. Segments of up to eight shows were filmed over the course of two days, so you can imagine there would be a understandable need if the bulk of items were of little value (which is the case). Simply put...watch the show for it's entertainment or historical value, not for any real relevant monetary one.

Larry David on Antiques Roadshow!???
That lizard looks like a chuckwalla used to see them in Arizona.
Not a chuckwalla, as it has frills on the back of the head. They are horned lizards.
That is an awesome cane! Too bad the artist never signed it.

Louisiana was my first thought
The rod of Asclepius.
Wow really
Is that a citizen cane ?
Made in america like things should be! :)
Looks sorta M.C. Escher-ish (metamorphosis) , serious artistry.
Feels like something Marilyn Manson will buy in his 90's.
He cane not believe that evaluation.
I liked how the owner corrected the appraiser by pointing out he liked the carved alligators (appraiser said crocodiles, wrong continent bud)
The appraiser himself said “crocodile or alligator”, as well as the fact that the the American Crocodile (Crocodylus Acutus) is, shockingly, native to North America. So, the appraiser wasn’t incorrect on either point. At least be accurate on part of what you say, bud.

thanks for the insight.
That doesn’t look old to me. The carving look fresh.
I know a half dozen carvers that could reproduce that work.
