A Relic from the Past

I felt that I just had to make a record of this ancient artifact from the town house renovation project. This item was a fixture at both of my grandmothers’ houses. This tiny paper cup holder graced the wall by the sink, providing the user with a tiny paper cup to rinse after tooth-brushing or, I assume, to swallow pills. This one, of course, went with the pink bathroom in the town house. note the color-coordinated cups. My other grandmother’s tiny cup holder was beige.

I don’t recall ever seeing these aside from my grandmothers’ houses, but I could have just been to young to remember.

Do you have any memories of weird old things like this? Do tell!
