The fan is an old Singer sewing machine advertisement fan then there is my great grandpa's gold pocket watch and the last little item is my great uncles weekly appointment manger. Must have been a gift to him. It printed Dr. Hall on the front. You release the clasp and 7 "leaves" fan out, one for each day of the week. Then I guess you would write in your patients name and appointment. I know that back in those days he came to the patient. One of my other fav. items is the big salt glazed crock that our family for several generations used to make either beer or sauerkraut in as needed.
