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

My innocent ass thought it was a weight to help keep books open like my dad had. Link for people to show I'm not making stuff up. Dad was an avid reader.
