BOSTON POST CANE The Boston Post Cane
was the brainchild of Edwin A. Grozier, publisher of the now
defunct Boston Post, a large circulation newspaper.
In 1909 he sent gold-headed canes to the Board of Selectmen
in 700 towns throughout New England. Likely the idea was to
publicize his newspaper. Manufactured by J. F. Fradley Co.,
the canes had a 14-carat head with the inscription,
“Presented by the Boston Post to the oldest citizen of [the
town’s name]”. The selectmen were asked to present it to the
oldest person in town, as long as they remained there, and
upon death, pass it on to the subsequent oldest person.
Unlike many towns,
Pittsfield retains its original cane. To avoid losing it, in
1999 the select board asked Paul Richardson to make a case
so that it could be properly displayed in the town office.
Six replicas were purchased and are now given to the oldest
person to keep permanently. Bertha Hammen received the first
one in 2003.
Through the years the
cane has been passed along intermittently. There have been
times when it was returned but not given out for several
years. Unfortunately the town does not have a list of the
persons to whom it has been given. Pittsfield Historical
Society Historian Larry Berkson is putting together a list
and would appreciate receiving any information about
recipients. He can be reached at
larryberkson@comcast.net or (603) 798-3984.
