Stretcher of some sort ?

[RedVise]

Hello Gents !! Been a while since I visited, hope all are well in these strange times !
Came across a piece I had to take home but now have the common problem of figuring out what it is .

24" long , hinged in the middle, bow is bent wood of some type.

All thoughts, opinions and WAGs are appreciated, Thanks

Sculling paddle has been suggested elsewhere!

  I believe this is a folding boot-jack
