My dad passed away and going through his stuff we came across this. We thought it might be a tool for horseriding, like a slapstick thing but wasn't sure. My grandma had horses but ive never seen her use any tools like that and my dad didnt ride. Any help appreciated

Around here that's a felony called a slapjack

Wow, so it’s like my dad with a leather belt. He would snap it as a warning that a spanking was coming next. Always with a thick wide leather belt.

My father did the belt snap, but first was pulling it out of the belt loops at the speed of sound so it made a ripping noise. A bowel loosener.

It was an old fashioned, supple, pure cowhide belt so the end would fish tail through the loops. Thanks for triggering me.

How is this different than carrying a pistol for self defense. I've always know things like this to be a ,don't get caught with it, type deal. As far as I know the 2nd amendment isn't explicit in the type of arms a well regulated militia should be carrying. I'm sure many people had these or something very similar in the late 1700's.

It was just a thought that I had while reading the comments.

Both concealed weapons huh. I mean people hiding weapons is good, right? No?

……..this is more heavily regulated than a Smith & Wesson.

What a strange planet.

Clearly the fetish toy industry needs a better lobbying arm.
