This photo showed up today on a Facebook "old house forum" with the poster asking what the item on the right was for. There have been lots of guesses from swing out ashtray to toothbrush holder to storage for used razor blades to a holder for square tissues. Considering its location and construction can anyone tell its original inteded use? Notice that bump on top which appears to be clearance for a finger to pull something down or out.
