Things no longer in use ?

holes

Sure, but the stuff around those holes can be useful. I used to collect woodpecker holes, till one day I lost them. Can't blame me for that, though. A woodpecker hole without the surrounding wood is the devil to keep up with.

pretty!

I'd like something like that. I'll have to look around in the shops.

Small cup with lid for desserts or when it still was allowed clear tortoise soup.
Now good for an expresso

A moustache cup to keep one's moustache tea free.

An orange peeler. Very useful gadget.

I love single use items like that. They really make a table special.

I was recently in Mexico. Whilst on my trip, I visited a village that could easily be in contention for the most interbred. The amazing thing is this was actually considered a bragging point. Regardless, I can now say I have seen one of the most useless things ever and it was conceived for one of the most useless reasons ever.
Back in the day, in less enlightened times, I larf. Mexicans of Spanish decent did everything to preserve their bloodline, keeping their roots pure. One way that they could prove their lineage, aside from the presumably cross-eyed punch drunk look, was to sport a healthy furry lip. (Men only, with respect to Frida.) To prove their dominance over the hairless locals, they developed over blown rituals. Namely, at the end of meals, all men with handlebars were presented with a lace handkerchief. True gentlemen would know how to fold it and the correct rotational strokes needed to properly clean the facial manscape. Fakes would be routed out and sent to the local federales or so the story goes.
I sadly could not find a photo, guess it proves my point. Also, mustachioed muchachos are now quite prevalent, lace not so much.

Here are several ideas how to fold a handkerchief cerrect.

This is a latch hook. Used to fix runs in silkstockings.
Found one in my mother´s sewing box. Gavi it to the museum and with silkyarn.

Thank-you. Sadly, none of these methods would pass the muster.
The napkin/handkerchief was presented flat on a tray. It was a perfect square, made mostly of lace, very frilly lace. A potential bride to be would make them for her suitor. I digress, in the center, along the diagonal, was a delicately stitched rectangle - dead centre. The goal was to take the square and fold it, tube like, so that the rectangle was on top, then the tube was bent over the pointer finger - to get a good grip and begin working the 'stache in small circular rotations. They must have eaten with wild abandon back in the day..

Thaat is reallz interesting.
I cannot find it - but I had/hae an article in a book about table manners in the middleages. I can remember one was not supposed to blow the nose in the tablecloth.hat sure is far awaz from the laced handkerchief.

a bowl for shawing

A silver button hook. I still have one, but it's purely for ornamental purposes.

Hey, I made one of those things for snugging up boot laces. You'll need a really big crochet hook, a 1" wooden dowel, and a drill.

Silver glove stretcher - another item kept for ornamental purposes nowadays!
