A 1932 era paddle

This Spencer style paddle has 1932 written in the middle of the blade, and is signed by many of the folks who were acquainted with its sting. One wonders where this was used? A school? Orphanage (à la “Annie”)? Some other venue?

    talk about the ultimate embarassment. it isnt bad enough that that you likely was bent over bare in front ofthe entire class and had this applied to your bottom but after being made to sign the paddle for posterity’s sake…. wow… another point, you realize that getting bare bottomed spankings were co-ed back then and nobody thought anything about it?

    I always get the shivers when I see a ‘working’ old paddle like that. Wondering how it was used, who used it, imaging me as one of the girls or young women it got used on…

    Barebottom school spankings? Exist mainly in people’s imaginations.Or maybe in a single-sex private school -MAYBE!
    But not in the public schools. I know many school systems used CP in the past, including my own. And some do today. But never heard of any clothes being removed,certainly not in front of the class.

    this is my thought… unless the girl has done something really bad, don’t use a paddle especially a school type one. a woman’s bottom was made for an over the knee bare handspanking. if its for a serious offense then maybe MAYBE a ping pong paddle type be used. i cant see any woman warranting a paddlespanking where a swinging of such force is necessary. i am a proponant of length as opposed to force when a spanking is needed….

    Tanner even at my age i saw many a bare bottoms getting paddled at school(s) and on the playground girls put over things and paddled right there in the open…

    I never witnessed a bare bottom paddling in my schools. If it was done, it was certainly not in the open. The closest I saw was a girl who had her dress and petticoat flipped up and spanked over her panties. This was a bare hand spanking the teacher did “on the spot” as contrasted with her usual procedure of taking the spankee to a nearby cloak room for a session with the paddle.

    You’re dreaming Darl. Not only were there no bare bottome school paddlings, most of the students getting paddled were boys. Why don’t you name the school and year so we can check it?
