I can't see that. It's homemade. Isn't that a lightbulb socket at the base? And look at the soldering.
I'll keep looking, but I don't see a socket, unless it's one of those small bulbs for an old flashlight. Did you take the photo or saw the tool? And I don't think it is a rug beater,
I was also thinking a mop of some kind. Looks kind of home-made, but might have been mass-produced by hand. And I don't think that's a bulb socket although it looks kind of like one. I just think it's a socket designed to fit a standard pole. That would be somewhat smaller than the standard medium screw lamp base. Appears to be made of copper and soldered together... they don't make 'em like that anymore. 
This is exactly what I was thinking. I have seen that exact socket on a bunch of poles in my grandmothers shed years ago. They were various tools such as brooms and mops.I was also thinking a mop of some kind. Looks kind of home-made, but might have been mass-produced by hand.
