FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of the walking stick shown in FIG. 1, with environmental subject matter shown in broken lines.

The details shown in broken lines in the illustrated embodiments depict environmental subject matter only in those embodiments and form no part of the design claimed with respect to those embodiments.

Broken lines are also used to indicate indeterminate length in FIGS. 10-12 as the walking stick in the second, third and fourth embodiments can be shorter or longer indeterminately in either or both directions relative to other features of the walking stick. The claimed design is primarily a walking stick having the features shown in solid lines in the illustrated embodiments which features vary depending on the embodiment. By way of example, a walking stick may be formed from wood (e.g., hickory, etc.) and include a metal top cap (e.g., brass, etc.). having the letters U.S. thereon or therein (e.g., engraved, carved, cut, etc.). As another example, the letters U.S. may be integrally formed or carved directly into the wood or other material forming a walking stick. In addition, a walking stick may include cards (e.g., PVC tags on twine, string, rawhide rope, etc.) as shown in the first, second and third embodiments respectively illustrated in FIGS. 1, 10 and 11, which cards may include any suitable indicia, images, phrases, artwork, etc.
