Manufactured by the National Die Casting Company of Chicago, Illinois, this classic monopod shooting stick features a cast aluminum frame, a sliding height-adjustment shaft, and an integrated thick brown leather saddle seat. The handles fold out to create a stable, contoured bench sling for resting on golf courses, hunting paths, or spectator events. This beautifully engineered piece exhibits a fantastic mid-century utilitarian aesthetic, making it an excellent addition to vintage sporting collections or unique lodge display decor.

(NADCO - Chicago, IL, USA)Model Line: Nadco Sports Cane SeriesEra: Circa 1951–1957 (Based on company naming history and original design patents)Materials: Cast aluminum frame handle assembly, telescoping metal center pole, genuine double-stitched leather saddle slingDynamic Adjustment Range: Adjustable between approximately 20 to 30 inches via a compression collar clamp with original threaded eye-bolt screwBottom Footing: Fitted with a specialized wide folding ground plate and integrated dirt spike designed to anchor into soft turf to prevent tipping when seatedConditionOperational Status: This item remains fully functional and appears seldom used. The central release lever and folding hinge mechanics retain their tight, secure factory closure, locking the handle arms firmly into position without any slipping or looseness.Adjustment System: The telescoping collar adjustment mechanism slides smoothly through its intended range, and the manual locking screw tightens appropriately to hold its height position under compression.Leather Saddle: The thick brown leather seat features a double-stitched reinforced border with complete, unfrayed stitching. The leather face is intact and holds its weight-bearing tension beautifully, displaying minimal surface creasing and a rich natural dark patina.Structural Framing: The cast aluminum handle arms, pivot joints, and base components are structurally intact without cracks, welds, or breaks. The lower foot plate features the factory-molded "NADCO" brand stamp and pivots properly on its hinge.Surface Appearance: Aside from typical minor cosmetic surface blemishes, superficial scuffs, and natural score lines on the telescoping tube from historical adjustment, the item is in great, highly clean vintage condition.Terms of Sale: This vintage sporting item is strictly sold as-is with timeless historical character.--These items are part of an estate from a collector and carpenter by trade (descended from other crafts-persons, mostly in Connecticut).
