The handle bar moustache in some of the face canes can be seen in portraits by both makers but seems to become more common in the Moretti canes. The man with the moustache also has quite long hair otherwise he looks quite like the first of a series of portraits of Vincenzo Moretti from 1885. The series becomes more detailed, composed of more elements, over time.
The canes may well have been used long after they were originally made and the fact that some of them seem to be fragments might suggest that they were rejected for the highest quality initial work.
