"Trench Club"?

If the head and shaft are of different woods and therefore joined at the "neck", I would have thought that use as a club would cause breakage easily.

That depends on the joint. If the 'ball' had a socket drilled a decent distance into it that accepted the full diameter shaft and a bit of decent glue, it could be as strong as a solid piece. If it has a short skinny threaded rod holding the ball and haft together, it would have a short life if you hit anything with it.

The size info would be useful, if it's a three inch long item, could be a sewing bobbin.
