I was nosing around antique shops the other day with my husband (ok, in truth my husband was shopping and I was trying to keep from being bored) when I found this peculiar item in one of the cases.
Could it be? Is that a crudely cut spanking paddle? One that’s even designated specifically for boys?? Hmmm. I tried with all my might to see what was written on the little tag, but it was unfortunately turned just out of view and I was too embarrassed to ask the lady at the counter to unlock the case just so I could examine this object. For all I know it’s just a chunk of wood used as an oversized key tag for the boys restroom or something, but then who would put that in an antique shop? And is that fire extinguisher placed there just in case a bottom is set ablaze? 
Curious minds want to know. What are your guesses?

I have bought many the spanking toy at an antique shop!
July 25th, 2010 - 9:22 am
Definitely a spanking paddle (for boys). The girls paddle would be thinner. I had a science teacher in Jr. High School that had both and on the first day of class dropped both at the same time then asked which one hit the floor first in order to demonstrate a theorem of physics. This one is rather crude but may have served a dual purpose such as the key to the boys room. I also had a wood-shop teacher that had a large well finished paddle with the words “HALL PASS” carved into it which made for a very embarrassing long walk to the principles office.

“I was nosing around antique shops the other day with my husband (ok, in truth my husband was shopping and I was trying to keep from being bored)…”
OK, now my suspicions are confirmed: The trip to the hospital was not just a cloning project, but Pixie’s and her husband’s minds have also been transferred into each other’s bodies. How else could one possibly explain her sudden and so effective transition to “Toppiness,” and the oh, so common “husband’s lament” (above) about shopping?
Other than the photo of the fire brigade (who may instead, Fahrenheit 451-style, have been dispatched to *set* fire to your bottom instead of putting one out – note their smiles), none of the other objects in the picture appear to be especially “antique.” (Though I’m a bit of an antique myself and “old things” to some are still recent to me.) Not sure if that large spoon may have once been used to deliver a “healthy” dose of Castor Oil to some miscreant’s mouth just prior to an energetic application of the paddle – a paddle cleverly disguised as an ordinary bathroom key holder, as “Mr.” Pixie suspects…
July 25th, 2010 - 10:40 am
I do believe you’ve unearthed a genuine American cultural artefact there, Pixie. Perhaps you should offer it to the Smithsonian.
July 25th, 2010 - 11:23 am
I’m going to go with both. As an oversized key tag, it would surely prevent the key from being mislaid. Plus, if the student had tarried a bit to long in their absence from the classroom, the teacher could apply a few swats without much class disruption when the key was handed back.
Although I do like the design. The slight curve would reduce strain on the spankers wrist as they applied the paddle evenly and parallel across a spankee’s bottom. It appears that with the little upturn their would be no tiring bend in the wrist. One presumes that this paddle was perhaps designed with a thorough application in mind rather than a few swats. Obviously, this tool was crafted by a person who had given some considerable thought to the ergonomics of proper discipline to avoid workplace injury. One can imagine the number of sore bottoms and careful attention to detail that would cause a spanker to think, “You know, I need a paddle that doesn’t require my wrist to bend upward while still ensuring that the impact is level across the bottom.
July 25th, 2010 - 11:23 am
pixie,
i’m baffled too.
when i 1st looked a the pic i missed the extinguisher lable and i wondered if the “fire” was to be sprayed on the paddle b4 use [chuckle].
never ever ever be shy about asking to see an artifact on display!!
antique dealers have seen it all. if you wanted to use a red herring….”.is that a shaker butter paddle in this case?????”
i’ve seen many illustrated spanking paddles over the years in antique stores. these were sold in novelty stores, hardware stores, suivinier shops, and notion stores from at least the 30′s thru the present.
there are collectors for everything and dealers accept them.
if i had seen it with kelly [my kelly] i would have asked to see it, smaked it into my left palm. and doing bogie asked ” well…what do you think shweetheart?” of course the answer would have been…”ohh no…you’re right hand is plenty good enough!!!”
but that was us, not a bit shy.
wait a min……you took a picture of it…duhhh!!!!!
thanx for the laff,
ddon
July 25th, 2010 - 11:54 am
hey!!!!
for those of you who collect impliments here’s one i’ll bet no one has ever seen.
a parachute packing paddle.
it is about 18″ long 3/8″ thick & i.5 to 2″wide. i saw many of them in the mid 60′s as a p.e. tech. in the usaf. they were made of colorless opaque acrylic. light with a slight handle at one end and rounded at the other. all edges were sanded round.
they would deliver an horrific sting w/o cutting or brusing.
i don’t know whether they were gov. issue or each packer had to make his own.
someone living near an afb could call the chute shop and find out. who knows, you might be able to buy one.
just a thot,
ddon
July 25th, 2010 - 1:02 pm
Pixie waah we boys here arent safe from the paddle we had better watch out thom and co lol lol and you girls have yours for your botties lol ,love and spanks pixie and all the girls here xxxxxx from tim .
July 25th, 2010 - 1:49 pm
its look s evil pixie
i watched your previews and they are very cute
July 26th, 2010 - 1:12 pm
OMG! That’s awesome! We have bought a few spanking implements at antique shops too!
July 26th, 2010 - 3:23 pm
Pixie, we wait for the moment when you will start to spank boys. And you will open a dedicated site.
July 26th, 2010 - 4:18 pm
Dear Pixie,
I wonder if the other side says, “Girls”?
Whatever it is, you can see that it’s been well-used, as it looks worn and frayed. There could be some danger of small splinters from that thing.
No idea what it could be other than a bottom-smacker, though. Next time–don’t be shy about asking!
Dr. Ken
July 26th, 2010 - 4:18 pm
I’d love to find a paddle that’s made just for princesses..:)
July 26th, 2010 - 8:06 pm
chicken ya should a bought it lol
July 26th, 2010 - 8:53 pm
Pixie,
I, too, have seen and bought spanking implements at antique and thrift shops. One was clearly labeled “school paddle” and was well worn. Upon purchase, the sales woman simply wrapped it and said “enjoy!”
July 26th, 2010 - 9:54 pm
THAT’S a punishment paddle so say’s my kinky hopeful mind. The size of it is too impressive for a restroom key. Way too funny too, how the fire extinguisher is strategically placed near the paddle.
I remember in high school we had wooden hall passes shaped like a smaller version of this paddle. I clearly remember holding one one day, and a male teacher whom I had a raging crush on (I think he liked me a little bit too) came over to me and yanked it out of my hand and said, “Give me this so I can beat your ass with it!”
He seemed to enjoy his brief game of “keep away” before returning the pass/paddle to me. Too bad he didn’t give in to his temptation to swat my unpunished butt. He knew I got dozens of paddling threats throughout school…but no paddlings.
July 27th, 2010 - 1:25 am
dang, my post didnt pass moderation, an i forgot what i had typed.
welcome back Kelliliscious
July 27th, 2010 - 4:43 am
Fire extinquisher present in case some bratty little blogger sets fire to the paddle.
July 27th, 2010 - 2:34 pm
Hi Tom CAT!
It’s great to be back…and to maybe…or maybe not stir up some mischief!
July 27th, 2010 - 2:38 pm
Personally, I see NO harm whatsoever to ask hubby to give you a few test swats when nobody’s looking; or in CASE someone’s looking!
Oh but then, SOMEBODY would get “harmed” based on your comments of multiple spankings issued to you this past week!
July 27th, 2010 - 3:38 pm
@Kellieliscious, i am all game with stirring, not just maybe, baby ! *giggles* how was your time off and b-day celebrations? ready to take your licking, miss pix said, that all our spankings from the blog party where upon you now
July 27th, 2010 - 5:53 pm
I suspect it is exactly what you think it is.
In our elementary school the principal had a length of green water hose he used to swat the kids with. He could never get away with that today!
My seventh grade Social studies teacher had a plywood paddle that he enjoyed using WAY too much. He would intimidate the boys with it but absolutely terrorized the girls with it!
While that was a bit too extreme we have completely lost control in our schools up here.
There has to be some kind of middle ground.
July 27th, 2010 - 6:13 pm
@Tom Cat
Miss Supertop herself is going to soooo graciously donate her real birthday spankings to me in October, combined with my belated ones from this month.
I think we should encourage her to return to the antique shop after hours to “borrow” the object in question!
July 27th, 2010 - 9:29 pm
@ Kelliliscios
in that case I am offering her Majesty to offer you my own b-day spankings from coming sunday, to go along with the combined spanking you are to get, ON TOP. because leos are generous like that
are you suggesting pixieliscious should be stealing at that shop, young lady? *giggles*
July 27th, 2010 - 11:45 pm
My perv card must have expired….while I can see the obvious spanko applications, to my eyes it looks like a shoemaker’s mount…a “last” I believe they’re called.
Love your new profile pic, btw. A great mix between sweet and sexy.
July 28th, 2010 - 12:43 am
I guess I should be shopping at antique shops! That definitely looks like a paddle! Then again, it could be a hall pass for going to the restroom. We had somthing like that in highschool, except it had the classroom # on it instead of boys or girls. Everyone called it the potty paddle. They seemed to disappear alot though! There must have been quite a few spankos at my school. I never stole it, I was a good student, but my sister still has one of them! Speaking of shopping, I was fliiping through the sales fliers from the Sunday paper when an ad for “flexible or shatterproof rulers” jumped out at me. Shatterproof, huh? I’d like to test that theory! Then again flexible might be intersting too, since the target area is rounded, not flat. At 50 cents apeice, I could afford to try them both!
July 28th, 2010 - 1:00 am
Since everyone is donating their birthday spanks to Kelly, as well as the ones from the brat-room party post, she may graciously have mine, (and there are a lot of them), the week after Friday (Hiroshima day). Enjoy them! Maybe T the D is right, we Leo’s really are Magnanimous! Of course the suggested kleptomania will have to be dealt with…
July 28th, 2010 - 1:04 am
Pixie, How could you not buy it? He could have tried it on you in the store. They’d be telling that story for years to come…decades if your pants were down.
July 28th, 2010 - 9:54 am
Pixie perhaps it was lucky you didnt buy the paddle your hubby might have used it on your botty ,kelly welcome back did you have a nice holiday ? ,have you had your birthday spanks yet lovey ,love and spanks pixie and tigerbutt ,lorraine ,chrystal ad all the girl minxes here ,xxxxxx best wishes thom and co .from tim .
July 28th, 2010 - 11:11 am
Anonymous – I was eyeing up the wooden ping pong paddle set they had in the same case. And I was on the look out for anything that might have clearly been an implement. This one, I just couldn’t be sure. And try as I might, I could not see what was written on the description tag.
Tigerbutt – Ohhh! Now that is creative to have the hall pass be a paddle. I too would not want to have to carry that thing to the principal’s office even though spanking was never allowed in my school. Just the thought of it would have had me blushing deep red.
Hans O’Stone – Ha! I don’t mind a little shopping and even poking around an antique shop can be fun once in a while, but I am not one that can do it allllll day long. After the first store, I’m in “stuff” overload and want to get away. Even when I do regular shopping, I go in with a list or a mission to find specific items and get out. I must be missing the mallrat gene.
The store had quite a collection of things that would be considered antique and then classic antique as well, but I think by definition anything over 25 fits the category, correct? So even some of the video game consoles can be considered antiques even though I wouldn’t think of them as classics like a butter churn from 1900.
Karl – LOL!! I’m too chicken to even ask to see the item out of the case!
Nikolai – You know, I never really gave much thought to implement construction until I was on the giving end and then realized how important the handles really are. It really makes a difference to be able to get a good grip and is every bit as important as things such as beveled edges on a paddle when on the receiving end. I now have a whole new appreciation.
ddon – It was great to be able to just take a quick pic on my iphone. With the lighting in the case already set, it made it easy to share the item with you without having to ask or buy it.
And yes, I am still shy in vanilla settings about such stuff.
Tim – But tim, we all know boys are bad, girls are good. Isn’t that how it goes?
crystal – It sure does. I think if that was a real paddle in a school, I’d behave.
Cali – Never know what you can find in one of those shops! What have you uncovered?
lambear – I have spanked boys before (the grown variety of course), but no dedicated site in the works just yet.
Of course Veronica would only be too happy to participate if ever we did one. She’s been saying for years that she wants to do Punished Boys!
Dr. Ken – I just wish it wasn’t behind a locked glass case. Grrr. I would have loved to examine it closer. I’d feel totally awkward though standning there looking at it as the kind elderly lady stood watching me holding the case keys.
dani – They have little Disney princess paddle ball games at Walmart. They are flimsy plastic so I’m not sure how well they’d do in giving a spanking, but then princesses are always well behaved, right?
rtg – cluck cluck!
Mitch – Now if I had spotted an item like that (and I’m always on the lookout) I would have snagged it in a heartbeat! Shyness or no!
Kelly – Maybe the antique dealer knew to pair the two items that way to suggest use.
Tom – I think your first post must have been eaten by the black hole of the www. There was no comment in the mod queue.
Redchief – Ha!!! Now that is a FANTASTIC use of both items. ding ding ding.
Poppa – OMG! A watering hose? That is intense.
JC – A shoemaker’s mount? Hmmm. Well, if I ever go back to that particular shop (and I hope we don’t for a long time … zzz) maybe I’ll ask about the item referring to it as a shoemaker’s mount and then see what the tag says.
TigerLily – Oh!! You’ll have to nab a ruler or two and test them out … in the name of science of course.
Brian CA – Ohhh no! No need to add another paddle to the collection right now. My hubby already has way too many evil (yet pretty) paddles and of course, Mr. Whippy.
July 28th, 2010 - 1:42 pm
Pixie, wish my ex-wife shopped like you. I haven’t a clue what that item could be. At first I thought it might be a shoe form but now I don’t think so.
July 28th, 2010 - 4:05 pm
pixieliescious, dont worry about it – probably just my slow computer stalling once more
July 28th, 2010 - 5:53 pm
Mystery Solved:
When I Was A Kid In Georgia, Infuriated Parents Would Send A Child Outdoors To Choose & Cut His/Her Own Hickory Switch For The Forthcoming Thrashing. It’s Probably Safe To Say That This Odd Crudely-Crafted Weapon Was Cut & Finished In The Student Wood Shop By Some Unfortunate “Habitual Offender” In A “Boarding” School, Or Maybe Even A Summer Camp(?) Under Orders From Some Tyrannical Headmaster* * *
July 28th, 2010 - 6:47 pm
yarrrggghhh!!!!
antique dealers are in business to sell, not question or pass judgement!!!
here’s the protocall;
you: what is that wooden thing there???? may i see it??
she: of course. [now if she knows what it is she'll tell you]
you: [after looking at it and glancing at the price tag] ohhh….$15.00 ….well i’ve got three other pieces i’m buying that’s a little over my budget.
she: oh… i can do a little better…how about $10.00.
now it’s up to you.
dealers tend to want badly to sell things that have hung around collecting dust and taking up shelf space. they buy estates, bunches of stuff from people cleaning out attics and they sell the prime pieces quickly. the rest, they do what they can.
if you’re nice you’d be amazed at the bargians.
ex:
when i moved down here i had no flatware. i bought some at walmart[garbage].
i went to an antique store and asked the owner if she had any old g.i. flatware. she said you mean with usn or usa stamped on them? i said i don’t collect, i want them for my use so that’s not important. ohh …i have some silver plated ware that just came in, look at this box. i picked out 20 pieces of prime functional stuff. . lets see ….oh you’ve got 20 pieces??? give me $1.50.
i paid 5 times that at walmart for crap.
bestcase:
i asked my boon budy to save any pulp magazines he got to give me 1st refusal.
i walked in one day to find a pile of pulps on the counter. ohhh….pulps for me???? he said they just came in..i was going to call you, take a look….there’s a good one in there.
all garbage except one at the bottom of the pile with the intackt spine reading wierd tales vol. 1 no. 1. i took a very quick look at it and said what do you want for the pile???? $20.00…..sold!!!
i got it home and lo and behold it was real. i called the bookie and said i just bought wt vol. 1 # 1 in great shape. he offered me $400.00 sight unseen. i turned him down and brought it to don grant who looked at it for 15 min. and offered me $1000.00 plus $1500 in grant books at at %60 discount. i would have done that but he said it was going to italy and i thot this should remain in america. steve king turned me down because he had one and wasn’t interested in trading up for condition.
i took it to lunacon where sam moscowitcz and art saha were present and gave it to art’s daughter hiedy saying give this to you’re father and ask him if he’s impressed. she dropped it onto his lap and said daddy are you impressed with this? art was nonplussed. he said yess!!! where did you get it. oh ..don gave it to me.
after the party, i left and jack chalker came behind me and putting his arm over my shoulder said “you don’t want to sell this, do you lad”. i allowed i didn’t. he then said ” if in the fullness of time you have to sell it ASK $3,000 FOR IT, AND IF THE S.O.B. WHO’S LOOKING AT IT WANTS A BETTER COPY FOR HIS $3,000,….TELL HIM NOT TO HOLD HIS EFFING BREATH!!!!!”
anyone who knew jack knows that’s a true story.
the point is, you’ll be supprised at what you can get if you’re nice. and you are the picture in the pedia next to nice.
why do you think i’d like to talk to you?????
best ddon
July 28th, 2010 - 8:20 pm
Of course you found only a “boy’s” paddle in that shop. Us girls are too good for a paddle to be created to be used on us!
July 29th, 2010 - 3:21 am
@ 2good – Of course there are paddles created for girls, didn’t you read my earlier comment? Now get over my knee you cheeky little scalawag! I’ll show you thing or two about the existence of the girls paddle once and for all! First of all that skirt has got to go up and panties down! Second, boys are allowed the dignity of bending over for their licks but girls, who tend to kick and scratch must be held in place with the other leg. Third, boys are given hard licks with a heavy hard wood paddle where as girls are given less hard but many more smacks on the same spot with a thin flexible plywood paddle until they are a puddle of tears. Let that be a lesson to you! Now off to the corner with you for some quality time or at least until you stop your crying! Nobody said you could let your skirt down and just leave those panties where they are until I tell you that you can pull them up!
July 29th, 2010 - 8:45 pm
wow Tigerbutt, you sent me back to the shower with that.
pixieliscios, dont worry about the tag. actually the tag is the clue. i believe it was a price tag only, however the clue is, they had to bind it on, since the sticker wont stick. the wood is too greasy from timelss application to fear-sweaty skin.
July 29th, 2010 - 11:12 pm
Oh how sweet to fantasize about things such as this. I can just picture you in that antique store when you spotted it and trying to figure out if it indeed is a spanking paddle. Although it does look like a paddle and could indeed be used for such a purpose, I don’t think that it actually is though. It is way too crude, and the curve serves no purpose in this regard. One of the other replies may be accurate, that being having something to do with shoemakers or shoe repair. The shape does conform to the shape of a shoe sole and Boys could mean this one is designated for boys shoes. Anyway, whatever it’s real purpose, it could still be used for the purpose we spankos love and dream about, paddling a bottom.
July 30th, 2010 - 10:26 am
Looks to me like a mould for an old-fashioned shoe-maker. I like the paddle theory better though!
August 7th, 2010 - 9:35 pm
The blog entry title is “Is that what I think it is?” which is what I thought after reading a response to my comment…is that the threat of a spanking from Tigerbutt? It’s ok sweetie. I was just kidding. My spanker has a paddle meant for “this” girl.
August 8th, 2010 - 7:51 pm
Dear Pixie,
About 10 years ago I visited a country gift shop in Vermont and one of the items this store carried were spanking paddles designed to be used on children. These were mostly light paddles which were displayed with household convenience items. Some had funny expresions written on them, such as, “For boys that tease and girls that taddle theres nothing as handy as mom-mom’s paddle”. Others had the slogan, “attudite adjuster” printed across it.
Another had a funny slogan, this other store was located in a wooded area,” Perfect for the cruel little bare behind”, and had a picture of a bear.(This was many years ago), and yet another had one that had spanking instructions on it. It said amoung other things, “only to be used over cloths”.
Also today, August 8 has been declared consensual spanking day. I hope you have enjoed it.
Pixie I am also glad that your health has improved greatly since your hospital stay and it is a pleasure to see you still very active in the scene.
Its good to know that a brat can fly.
Take-Care Pixie and I hope to see you at an event soon.
JOHN
