Can anyone tell me what this is called?

No idea what this is called. Can anyone tell what it is? Greatly appreciated.

It looks like a pestle. 

Size, weight, or material might say otherwise, but you don't give them, so I'm basing it on shape alone.

It looks like a Pirate's peg leg to me

Agree with Maxine.  Looks like a wooden pestle used to grind something in a mortar bowl.  But that is just based on the shape in the picture.  More details would help.

if it is large and wood it is a potato masher

[mankyboo2]

Ah yes it's very large & solid wood. Thank you.

Very large & solid wood, no idea on exact weight but it's heavy. I got my answer.. Potato masher. Thank you though.

You're very welcome.  It will sell better on eBay as a Potato Masher, for sure.

But I'm going to be pedantic and note that that kind of potato masher is just a big wooden pestle, "a heavy and blunt club-shaped object, for mashing or grinding," from the Latin pistillum, meaning pounder.
