Default Are these rounders bats?

13 3/4" and 14 1/4" long
I picked these up in an antique store today...the price tag said they were juggling pins...so I'm looking them over and an English guy that was there shopping said they looked like rounders bats...said he played rounders as a kid and that's what he thought they were...my first thought when I spotted them was policemans billy club....but no wrist strap and not real weighty like filled with lead...the checking and patina screams 19th century....what say the constituency?
