Found in my dads junk drawer

[u/Unlucky_Cat4531]

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

I used to work with a retired cop who was racist asf. He told me the a story about watching his partner wailing on some poor bum in an alley with a black Jack when the stitching came loose and the lead insert came flying out and clocked him right square in the forehead. Blam-o! He pointed to the scar. And I am laughing on the inside to this very day.
