For the bicentennial presidential campaign, the Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter campaigns mass produced nostalgic tin campaign canes that mimicked FDR's 1932 pewter cane. They had the candidate's name on one side and "For President" on the other. Jimmy Carter had been a peanut farmer and the Governor of Georgia before his surprising ascendency to the presidency.

The pewter handle of this 1932 campaign cane has "Franklin D. Roosevelt" printed on one side and "For President" on the other. It belongs to a tradition of mass-produced campaign canes made for supporters, extending back to 1868, when canes were first made for Grant and Seymour. When FDR saw the canes being handed out he was furious, as he thought they could be construed as a comment on his polio-related disabilities. He ordered the canes to be destroyed. In 1976, as part of the bicentennial celebrations, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford both had aluminum canes made on the model of the pewter FDR cane.

This 1933 cane with a copper head of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the slogan "Century of Progress" was produced for the Chicago World's Fair of 1933. The aptly-named Century of Progress International Exposition celebrated Chicago's centennial. This cane is one of many of world's fair canes in the Grumet collection.

Cane collector Lou Grumet commissioned Baltimore carver Pat Harris to create a figural cane of Alfred E. Smith. Smith was the Speaker of the New York Assembly, Governor of New York and the first Catholic candidate for president of a major political party. He was also the sponsor and major supporter of a great deal of the pro-worker, pro-union, and work place safety legislation during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Grumet added this cane to his collection of New York and American political icons. He also used it when he testified to the New York State Assembly (on many occasions).

Woodrow Wilson, the former Governor of New Jersey and former president of Princeton University, became president in 1912, a result of the three-way tie among Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt. His inaugural speech, which in many ways ushered in the Progressive Era, was transferred onto papier mache and applied to a metal rod to make this cane. This cane was probably made for a key Wilson supporter, and was not mass produced.

This 1908 campaign cane of William Jennings Bryan features a typical pewter head of the candidate, who was running for the presidency for the third time. The head shows an older looking candidate than the 1896 cane, with the wavy hair replaced by a balding man. This cane is much rarer than the plentifully produced 1896 cane.

The 1908 campaign cane of William Howard Taft of Ohio was made out of bone, and was probably a one of a kind cane, made by a Taft supporter. Taft was Roosevelt's hand-picked successor, and the two were close friends. After leaving office, Roosevelt turned on Taft and ran against him in 1912.

The 1908 campaign cane of William Howard Taft of Ohio includes a pewter head typical of campaign canes of the era. Taft was a member of Roosevelt's cabinet, and the two were close friends. This cane was mass produced for Taft supporters. After leaving office, Roosevelt turned on his hand-picked successor and ran against him in 1912.

The presidential campaign of 1904 was an all-New York contest. The Republicans ran the incumbent Theodore Roosevelt, and the Democrats ran Alton Parker, the Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals. This wooden cane, covered with red, white, and blue campaign bunting, was a souvenir cane from the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, and was probably made for a single or small group of individuals, rather than mass-produced. It features images of Parker and Henry Davis, his running mate. Davis, of West Virginia, was the oldest candidate ever to run for the vice presidency or presidency, at 80 years old.

The presidential campaign of 1904 was an all-New York contest. The Republicans ran the incumbent Theodore Roosevelt, and the Democrats ran Alton Parker, the Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals. This wooden cane, with Parker's likeness carved in wood, was made for his supporters. It was purchased by Grumet in a London cane shop.
