Can anyone help Buckinghamshire Archives out with this one?
My guess - One of those long sticks used to open Victorian era windows with, in beta.
For years we've had this mysterious pole in the archive, and we've got no idea what it is or what it's for. So, cap in hand, we are turning to you for help.

It's a bamboo pole about 10ft long (staff member for scale), with a flexible pair of tongs attached to the end.

Any ideas?
