Spot on!

Although you are probably only looking for the neck, unless the wooden rod was broke as well. It's typically glued into an appropriate cavity at the base of the neck at one end and fixed with a fancy screw through the pot at the other end.

Necks with veneer layers under the ebony fingerboard are of higher quality, and carved heels are nice, along with inlay on the fingerboard.

However, look over the images carefully. I once purchased a neck on eBay that was described as belonging to a 4-string Stewart of the classic period. Well, it turned out to be a 5-string neck with part of its side planed off, where the 5th string peg would have fitted, and it was a pretty sorry sight. I had my favorite craftsman create a new neck, based on the original, for about $750. So there is a happy ending to the story.
