From my side of the picture, it looks like a butt probe with a few leathers shoe laces attached for ease of pulling it out.
That is rare, so preserve it.
All kidding aside, it is a tool to use and to be able to tell your wife, your head is not up there in any way or shape.

It's for riding a horse that need a little motvation
Small whip if you will.
Since most horse riders don't wear spurs anymore.
When I was riding horses on a regular basis. All you had to do was squeeze the horse with you knees and it would increase the pace.

The story I got is that it was carried by a German soldier near the end of WWII. What do you think? Daniel's post was enough to make me think it is a cat o nine tails. I don't think I'll be doing a google image search on that...  -Mike |

When you found it, was there a leather corset and spike-heeled thigh boots?
My only other guess is a long handlebar grip with tassel.
What ever it is, don't leave it in your car; trying to explain it to the cops would be .... amusing.
(both the wood and leather look too new to be '45 vintage)

Those are some GREAT answers, but if you're serious, it looks like a home made tire knocker for a trucker. They hit their tires with it to see if they have air.

Seriously, it is a quirt, as Al said. Looks homemade, I have seen some made with leather to match a saddle, boots etc. Could be used for something else though, I guess. Hoser |

Ummm, I 'knock" my tires on the rig, I've never "whipped" them into inflation though One of my tire knockers had a strap to go around my wrist. Only one strap and not three, but I could see someone adding a few straps to make it easier to pick up from beside the seat or hang in the cab. |
