Just saw an article by John Atkins in feb 1993 Airgunner which shows some Spring powered Air cane's that were made by Lanes Bros in the 1890's.

One uses the handle as a lever, the other is a twist grip.

Both apparently tested by Sporting Goods Review in 1897 with reportedly similar power to a Gem.

Have any of these types of Air cane ever been encountered?
I'd love to see one.

Cheers,
Matt
