Accessories of style and grace from the otherwise dark and intimidating figure known as Sonny Liston. Elegant timepiece and walking cane smacks of high culture, although the uneducated Sonny Liston came from humble backgrounds and the peak of his life was shrouded in mystery. Gold Geneva pocket watch is elegantly detailed with floral design and locomotive on front. With chain still attached. Walking stick is solid black with regal gold handle engraved, "Given to Sonny Liston by Wm. Elmer - 1963" on the knob. EX. Both come from the Liston family.
