| Ferrules, collars etc. When ordering ferrules FOR THE BOTTOMS OF STICKS it should be remembered that rubber ferrules will stretch and that metal ferrules should have the end of the stick tapered slightly, so always choose a ferrule slightly smaller than the diameter of your stick. All diameters given are for the internal sizes of the open ends of the ferrules and are APPROXIMATE so please don't rely on any one particular size fitting exactly on to a stick you already have! For more information on the types and uses of different ferrules click HERE |
| Rubber ferrules |
|
| Several sizes to fit most sticks. These are "bell" shaped with good grips on the base and a metal washer inside to stop the stick wearing through quickly. Type quantity for each size in the box then click "Add to Cart" button. - £1.80 each
- Discounts are for 10 or more of a size.
|

|
Standard ferrule on left, Umbrella ferrule on right.
Both are approximately actual size. | Umbrella Ferrules Small rubber ferrules to fit over umbrella tips or very small cane tips. Internal diameter is just under 9mm but will stretch to cover tips up to about 12mm max. |
| Orthopaedic Ferrules
| Orthopaedic Ferrules (Also called crutch pads). Hard wearing and good grip on most surfaces - broad base gives extra steadiness if you are a bit "wobbly" on your feet! £1.95 each
|
| Heavy Duty Rubber Ferrules Similar to above but black, as used in our Wading sticks | Heavy Duty Black Rubber Ferrules
£1.95 each |
|
| Tripod Ferrules Large, flat base that gives extra stability for anyone with poor balance. The ferrule is so stable that the stick will stand upright on its own so can be left without the need for hanging it or leaning it against a chair, table etc. The socket is quite flexible and will accommodate most sticks from 3/4" (19mm) to 7/8" (22mm). £4.80 each (only 1 in stock)

MIXED SIZE PACKS We don't guarantee any particular sizes or number of each in the packs (that's why they're mixed) but generally sizes 9 to 15. If you want to specify sizes you will need to order individual ferrules.
| PLAIN BRASS FERRULES.
These are nicer looking than rubber but not as hard wearing. You can push a rubber ferrule over the brass one if required. These have an antique-effect brown coating but can easily be polished to bright brass using steel wool and/or metal polish. Taper the end of the stick to get a tight fit and secure with epoxy or pins (see lower down) or use the traditional way of crimping the rim two or three times with a sharp nail and hammer. Diameter across open ends measured in sixteenths-of-an-inch, so No 8 = half inch,
No 12 = three quarter inch,
No 16 = one inch etc. The length of each ferrule is the same (approx 25mm, one inch) regardless of diameter. PRICE £1.00 each: Discounts apply for 10 or more |

Lacquered finish that gives them a grey/brown colour. This can be rubbed off with steel wool and metal polish to reveal bright brass. Taper the end of the stick to get a tight fit and secure with epoxy or pins (see lower down) or use the traditional way of crimping the rim two or three times with a sharp nail and hammer. Diameter measured across open end in sixteenths-of-an-inch, so No 8 = half inch,
No 12 = three quarter inch etc,
The length of each ferrule is the same (approx one inch) regardless of diameter DISCONTINUED - no longer being made. |
| Alpine Spike |
|
| - Plated iron spike for rocky or icy terrain. £3.60 each
Taper the stick to get a tight fit and secure with one or two small pins (see lower down) through the holes already drilled near the open rim. All measurements are for the external diameter and are approximate.
Please note that these are budget priced items and and can show some signs of oxidation. This can be easily removed with fine abrasive or metal polish and in use does not affect performance in any way. Now with optional rubber ferrule to fit over spike when back in town!

| NOTE: The folding Ice Ferrule does NOT come with a rubber or other ferrule so if you don't already have one please order one for your own stick from the selection of ferrules above. | Ice Ferrule Clamps on to "standard" sizes of sticks (20 to 30 mm thick) by fitting two screws (long and short ones supplied in each pack) through the metal parts. The stick is not damaged and the Ice Ferrule can be removed and stored during the summer. When not in use the ice grips fold out of the way and the normal rubber or metal ferrule (not supplied) is used. When required the ice grips simply click into place below the normal ferrule. Brilliant!

| COLLARS | |
| Engraving up to 30 characters costs only £15 (not including price of collar). The more characters you have, the smaller they need to be engraved to fit on the collar.
| ENGRAVED COLLARS If you would like any of the metal collars (below) engraved then enter your lettering in the box and click on "Engrave". MAKE SURE YOU ALSO ORDER A COLLAR FOR US TO ENGRAVE!!! If ordering more than one collar but not all engraved, make sure you order the engraving here first then order the collar you want engraving - order any other collars AFTER the engraved one so we can tell from the order form which one is to be engraved. You might also like to put a note on the order form to make sure there is no confusion. NB Engraving is done by hand-held tool and not by machine.

| Solid silver disc, 25 mm (1 inch) in diameter and 0.7 mm thick, engraved with up to 18 characters (including spaces)
Useful if you have already made (or bought) a stick and fitting a collar is not an option.
The disc is drilled to take two silvered pins (included) that you can use to attach the disc to any stick - you may wish to put a dab of epoxy on the back to make it even more secure.
| Solid silver disc Price only £21.00 for the disc AND the engraving and the pins. Please allow at least 2 weeks for delivery.
The discs are obtained from a local engraver (who does the engraving) so it can take anything up to a week or more (after you place the order) before I get it back. I then have to press the disc into a shallow curved profile and drill two pin-holes for easier fitting on your own stick. The engraver normally chooses suitable lettering depending on the size and context. |
| ONLY A FEW LEFT. MANUFACTURE OF THESE HAS STOPPED AND NO MORE WILL BE MADE - WHEN THEY'RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE!
| Plain Brass collars approx. 12 mm deep and 23mm wide. The diameter measured is narrower end which normally goes on he shank, with the handle above. Use epoxy and/or pins to secure collars in place. £2.50 each

|
| Antler collars Roughly cylindrical sections of antler with some of the core drilled out and the rough edges sanded. You might need to file and sand the collars to fit your own sticks. I make these to order myself. |

| | Cane Holder Folding gadget which clips onto most canes (up to around 1" thick (25mm) and enables the user to hang the stick on the edge of a table or shop counter, freeing both hands but without losing sight of the stick. The holder is spring loaded so it hangs downward when not in use and a useful reflective strip helps the user to be seen at night. The underside is covered in a soft foam material to prevent damage to the table top.
