Carse Antiques has dated this piece to the 18th Century.
I've seen very similar looking sticks in early Georgian etchings of press gangs.

The stich has the most wonderful early patination and is a rich dark colour.
The straight part of the stick has been moulded in an octagonal shape with the handle section having been turned with ring decoration.
The stick shows great wear especially to the handle end.
SIZE; 34" long
CIRCA; 18th Century
