Early Middle Earth - Gandalfian Hiker Mark II - Rare Model - Ent Approved - Used but like new (of course). Man(Elven?)-made. Hewn from pure white Holly, with just enough underbark left in place to provide camouflage (the only available option back then). Taller, stronger and lighter than the Mark I, this Hiker Mark II (also called a Staff or a Wand) is the only one left in existence. The other two are pre- sumed to have perished (for the time being) in the Fires of Mordor (FOM). The comfy handle or grip is patterned after the Mark I, however the addition of a Seeker Eye serves to distinguish it from its predecessor. The Eye is large and quite clear. This Gandalfian Mark II Hiker has been credited with remarkable protective qualities in behalf of its good-intentioned bearer. However, it does need a gentle albeit firm hand - otherwise it tends to take liberties. A coating very similar to current-day polyurethane has protected it well down the eons. A new rubber tip is included and is mountable in aid of those who must meander the muck and mire of modern millenia. Its weight, when it keeps still, is, for some unknown reason, 499.99 grams or, approximately, 17.63662 oz [ 1.1 lbs ]. Length - about 56 inches [ 4'8' ]. The remaining Transferrable Warranty is 87,654 leagues via Shank's Pony, or the end of the world as we think we know it, whichever comes first. Notes from current guardian: The wood is a very nice piece of Holly (Ilex opaca) - polyurethane coated, the Eye is a huge, 4.5 carat, synthetic diamond. The G.H.Mk.II has agreed to be packaged securely for travel to the new owner it selects. A Mithril (some call it stainless steel) ring has accompanied the Hiker and there is no doubt but that it will fit said new owner perfectly. This easily will be confirmed when a note is received here, stating, "Ring size ______" [Your choice - Fill in the blank.]. Shipping is postage cost (any excess over actual will be refunded) plus $1.50. |
