It's amazing how reading other's posts can bring back memories and smiles!  When BigWullie posted "been something else prior to possibly being used as a pointer" it reminded me of a professor I had that had an old car antenna - the non-retractable kind, shoved into a home-made wooden handle.  That was his pointer!  He was such a character. . . good Irishman ;) - Dr. Weinheimer!

So by the looks of it the majority of it is quite sturdy and its just the very end that is flimsy.

I think Sapphire had it pegged, doubled and redoubled in spades, with her two pics of a driving whip.  I'm guessing it was the old type that somewhere along the way had some of the forward end amputated.

You get one of those cracked across the back of your legs, guaranteed you're going to move........usually vertically. (I learned very quickly to detect the sound of an incoming whip ....... when I still had good reflexes  :P)

I imagine you can contact any of these that have "driver's accessories" available for a replacement on the whip end.

If you search drivers whips you find lotsa info.  Still VERY popular!!!
