DeLuxe Cane "Seconds" -- Just
$20. ea.
The
DeLuxe
Cane raises the ordinary rattan cane to a
new level of elegance and performance. Saturated with a linseed oil
compound, and then varnished, the DeLuxe
Cane is somewhat denser, more flexible, and
has greater longevity than an ordinary rattan punishment cane. Each
DeLuxe Cane is shipped
with a protective carrying and storage scabbard, at no additional cost.
But,
DeLuxe
Cane prices start at $65. ... so they are not for everyone --
or are they?
We
will sell you our second-quality DeLuxe Canes at 1/3 of the first-quality
price. These are straight rattan cane sticks with rounded tips. They
perform, last, and are warrantied just like our premium grade. The differences
are: they don't have handles, we don't provide a scabbard -- and
there are minor imperfections and cosmetic flaws.
There
is also one minor "catch. " While we charge the same
$20. price for all DeLuxe Cane Seconds, regardless of length, we don't
always have all lengths and thicknesses on hand.
In
order to avoid unexpected delays and disappointments, you
must phone in your order for Super Cane Seconds to 631-842-1711,
and you can find out what else is in our
Bargain Closet that
day. There is a standard handling fee, and shipping starts at $8.50
per order for regular ground UPS.
Add
Cane Handles and Cane Scabbards.
If
you like, you can add our standard two-tone double-helix paracord handle
for just $15. more. And we sell the cane scabbards separately -- also
for $15.-$20. depending on length. So, even if you let us do all the
work, a second quality DeLuxe Cane is still quite a good value.
How
DeLuxe Canes are Born
All
the rattan canes we sell are selected for steaming from the best part
of the bale. About a third of the rejects are good enough to sell as
"culls." We sell them at shows for a buck or two a stick.
Of the part of the bale that is good enough to be steamed, we reject
about a quarter of them after steaming, and these wind up as "show
culls" also.
To
this point, only 35% of rattan canes from the original bale have passed
inspection.
The
best third of the steamed rattan is put aside for DeLuxe Canes. These
are the top 12% of the original bundle. And, of these, after linseed
oil treatment and varnishing, half do not pass final inspection. Only
one piece in 16 has made the final cut!
DeLuxe
Cane Seconds are "super"
But
even the rejected DeLuxe Canes are still from the best 10% of the bundle.
They are oil-treated and far too good to throw away. And, one couple
can use only so many rattan canes. So we're offering these next-best
rattan canes to you at a fraction of the cost of the very best DeLuxe
Canes.
