Way Back When-sday: What is that?

A couple weeks ago I shared two items that would have been common to people of a by-gone era, but appear very strange and unusual to us today.

I thought it would be fun to share two more items and hear what you think. I'll give you a couple helpful hints today and then I'll tell you what they are--and how they were used--on Friday! Happy guessing.

This item is about three feet tall. Its
design was patented in 1886.

This item is from the 17th Century and fits in the hand.

What do you think they are?
