KevinH:
It's one of several variations of a "mirror-image" cane structure that can be found in weights from lots of makers. Sometimes these appear as a figure "8", sometimes as what some folk call "window canes" and at times, like this one, what I would describe as closer to an "hour glass", with the top and bottom having straight edges. I have no idea what the original design was intended to be.

The fact that the cane is set with yellow glass in and around the "hour glass" shape and this is rectangular within the white outer coating, makes it very much different from the form of the "playing card" canes - but yes, at a distance, it could easily be thought to be a distorted version of a "club" cane or a even sqaushed cross.
