Ed - some of the 'sticks' you show are old and very sought after. The Boston , New York and I believe, Philadelphia Police , all carried specially carved truncheons on ceremonial parades. The woven cotton wrist grips were always very fanciful. I think some of yours are of this pattern. Fish clubs are used all over the World , so I expect you are right in your ident. You must tell us the history of the strange Banana shaped one - good workmanship. I will show 4 from my collection which are not standard shapes. Mervyn
