    Found in the kitchen of a ladies house.

    Leather stitched with two heavy dense weights either end on one side(non magnetic)

    10 inches long.

    I believe it is a book weight.

    So it is, thank you.
    She must have used it to keep recipe books open.

    From the web.

    I just learned something again here. I never knew these existed. Going to look into getting one to help me sell cookbooks.

    I've been asking around for a couple of weeks and no one knew.
    One suggested it was a BDSM flogger :hilarious::hilarious:

    I bought one of these for my Mom maybe 20-25 years ago, she used it everyday until she lost the the ability to read books - it's still around here somewhere, but got so disreputable looking, I must have stuffed in a drawer (offered to get her a new one, but instead, she talked me into repairing it).

    And not at all like a flogger, more like a really badly designed slapper...

    I thought it was a Sap, you know those things that thugs use to slap people around?

    Yes, you do. And why is your ring on the wrong finger?

    And I would like to have one of those for cookbooks.

    I have a blue one. Very handy. Occasionally consider using it on recalcitrant husband.
