Seems to be a little over 8' long

Maybe a boat hook, maybe not.

Eons ago at a garage sale I found one quite similar. I asked the old lady that was selling her stuff and she said it was the pole she used in her classroom to take care of her windows. Just before she retired the school closed and was torn down and teachers got their choice of stuff.

Boat hooks and old building window hooks look remarkable similar.

Looks like your typical boat hook.
Mine telescopes but about the same length.

I agree, it does look like a window closer thing I remember from elementary school days.
