Squirt System Cane

Continental, late 19th century, a round moon face, possible composed of galalite, projects a liquid emanating from a tube into the hollow shaft when a button at the rear of the shaft is pressed, having a decorative unmarked silver collar, bamboo shaft, brass cuff. A cane of this type was designed as a weapon, likely shooting vitriol at the unsuspecting victim.
