Got yer attention? Well, it's probably long gone, but the
listing was good enough to make Best of Craigslist, which
got my attention!

One might want to own it just because, course, proving the 'provenance'
might be problematic

I think that it said "girth", not "diameter". Taking girth to
mean circumference, that give a range of 0.6466" to 1.5915", or
approximately 5/8" to 1-5/8". However -- as for the length, we're stuck
with that range. :-)

Enjoy,

A few years ago I was listening to the book on tape "Moby Dick", yah that
title works with this thread. Seems like the wives all had some carved
wooden 'friends' to take the edge off while the man of the house was at sea.

Never know what you will learn when you read a book.
