The newspaper stick is just that -- a simple stick -- whereas the OP asked about a more complicated device with a handle offset from the spine and a support mechanism for the paper. | |

When not in use, the rods are designed to rest horizontally in a rack high enough to allow the leaves to hang freely without touching the floor. Synonymous with newspaper rod." | |
