Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Arfcommers! So, my mom is in town from Michigan. She always finds weird shit at yard sales and sometimes passes them along to me. Anyway, one of the items she has brought is this wooden thing. It appears to be made of mahogany and might be a tool of some sort. We have no idea what it is, she just thought it was cool looking. Can anyone ID it for me?

Odd that they'd put a hole through it - at least in that place. Someone must've had it on their wall for decoration, I guess.

Is the hole just to hang it, or does it serve some other purpose? It seems like a hanging hole would be in the handle.

My great grandma (born 1886) used to use one when I was a kid. I always thought it was a clever yet simple tool.

That and the fact that I'm full of all kinds of useless information.
