    1:35 Hogwash! That is a shoe cleaner, for getting stuff off your shoes before entering a building. You hold the handle to help keep your balance, and the wipe the top of your shoe on the bottom of the roller to clean the top, or rub the bottom of your shoe on the top to clean the sole/heel.

    You identified the first item only as a glass and coaster. The glass is a “bend over” glass from the Art Deco period. It’s a female nude figure bent over. The glass has no flat bottom, just the nudes bottom, so it can’t be set down; it has to be held in the hand. The idea was you would walk around the party holding a glass that couldn’t be set down. As long as you held it, it kept getting refilled. I was born nearly half a century too late for those parties 🎉

    Several of these I knew. And I'm glad to know, now, about the wedding cup because I've seen these in the past & didn't have a clue! For the rest, more "I'll be darned"!

    At 10:40 correct. Our baskets were attached to chains on the gold mines in South Africa. Note the upper horizontal pipes were where you hook your chain when hoisted. The lower horizontal pipes (below the benches) were connected to the showers and water heated by coal-fired boilers. That water was always at boiling point and you keep your buttocks FAR AWAY🤣🤣🤣 Due to the hot water pipes it was always nice and cosy . . .

    Patients were put in those baskets. Hence the term 'basket case'.

    A guitar pick holder???
    Been playing professionally 60+ years and no guitar player I know, or have ever met, would use a cheap POS like that to hold their guitar picks.

      This was used to push food together on the plate, as we now do with the side of a fork.
      I still have my 60 year old cutlery set with ones of those. 😊
