I found this walking cane in a house I purchased and I am hoping to find out more information about it. I searched the internet and came up with very little except another cane by the same manufacturer offered on a auction site.
Alot of information is written on this cane. I've added detailed pics hoping someone can help with manufacturer history and possibly some ideas of who it originally belonged to. A guess of value, if any, would be interesting as well.
Manufacture: RFG&CO
I added "tags" to each pic describing best I can what is written on the cane. Apparently that didn't take. I'll add that info again here.

I believe this is a Victorian Claret Jug, made of crystal and silver, the only markings I see on the entire piece are located on two parts of the silver, they read the number 60. Any help you can provide determining the value of this piece would be greatly appreciated.
