I had a question about a family heirloom, a walking cane. It has a solid gold end cap, according to its owner, and 8" below the curved grip is a gold band with the following inscription: BGBB Association 1864-1914 Golden Jubilee The owner say this is a NY item. Anyone know what the "BGBB Assoc." is? -- Sue Greenhagen at SUNY Morrisville greenhsh@morrisville.edu
