why not use this term?
you might want to use "cane" or "pole" instead of walking stick.

Here is a small glossary, taken Wrom: LKBRNVWWCUFPEGAUTFJMVRESKPNKMBIPBARHDMNNSKVFV
Cane
Must have a comfortable handle, be weight bearing, have a rubber tip on the bottom, and be a suitable length for the user.
Walking Stick
A very general term - covers any type of stick. Most usually not used for support but some can be used that way. More often used for country walks, walking a dog, exercise, balance. Length is usually about wrist height, with some type of handle or knob so the hand can rest on top of the stick.
Hiking Staff
Most oftern used for day hikes, backpacking, trekking. Length is usually between elbow and shoulder height and is held on the side like picking up a long broom handle.

a stick used for fulling cloth
One of the meanings of "walking" is the process of fulling cloth. "Fulling" means shrinking and thickening by moistening, heating and pressing.

Therefore \"walkingstick collector\" might be a collector of sticks used for fulling cloth.

Hi Patrick
You asked the same question a week ago. If the answers already provided are not what you are looking for, perhaps you could provide more of an explanation?
I do not think that there is a special term for a 'walking stick collector' if this is what you mean (like philatelist/philately for the collection of stamps etc).
