I know I have seen images of items like this before but I cannot (as usual) remember what they were said to have been, possibly a fid of some type?
 Hopefully someone with a better memory than mine will be able to answer to your question.Best, Robert |

Beautiful old patina to the wood, whatever it is!? Definitely very old. Robert could be right with his fid possibility. I'm thinking nautical as well, possibly a cauking wedge for finishing out a ship? I've got an old spike axe ca. 1780 with a haft of similar dark patina. I like it, whatever it is!
 Jimmy, you are the undisputed expert on oceanagraphic clubs. Any chance this could be a form of one of those??? Mark |

It looks small for a club. Perhaps it is a weaving tool.
