About MeThis parasol has a cotton cover with a beige, purple and red art deco design and lined in beige cotton. The wooden tapering or billiard cue handle has a button top and engraved circles, ovals and a wavy line.
The wooden stick has a metal runner attached to ten metal stretchers and ribs with red plastic rib tips. There is a blunt wooden spike.
The parasol fastens by hooking the metal circle with tassel attached to a black braid band on to a metal button.
