These seem to be European. The device in question seems to be of Pacific wood?? Cricket, though also European, is widely distributed in the Pacific; is the use of such laundry paddles? Note
again the ridge to both handle and "blade", which these seem to lack. Still looks like some kind of cricket bat to me. |

Hi Tom, The thing that IMHO kills the Cricket Bat theory is the central ridge on the face. A cricket bat has a flat face so you can direct your shot. That would be nigh on impossible with a bat with 'two' angled faces. Best Gene |

?
the original posted photos seem to show the central ridge only on one side, the other being flat with rounded edges. raised ridge flat side i still do not think it's a cricket bat tho. |
