Stamp Moisteners ~ These were on every office desk once! 

Used for moistening stamps, labels and envelopes before introduction of self-adhesive types. Heavy white ceramic that just have a cool look of their own. The well held water and your stamp (label or envelope) was rolled over the roller to moisten it. Probably circa 1940’s - 1960's ? I used these at my first job!  I'm vintage!

General Store Receipt Holder ~ A cast iron receipt or bill spike typically sat on the counter next to the cash register at your local general store. Used in offices, general stores and convenient as memo holders. Possibly circa 1920’s ?
