A wall mounted soda bottle opener. I lived with my paternal grandmother after my father died in 1977. She was born in 1901, so she had several of the smaller items. what she didn't have (like the older open top washing machine, well, I saw items like that when we visited her relatives and friends. The "steam press" got me due to the small image and while I'd never seen one in person, the hair roller array was was fairly evident. The bottle opener had the "Coca-Cola" logo and we had the swing away crank driven can opener. Surprisingly, her radio was a relatively 'modern" (for the early 70s), a clock/radio combination. I'm sure she must have had a 'vintage" phonograph as she still had ceramic 78s, but I don't ever recalling it. Her daughter, my paternal aunt had the "console" style audio entertainment center.
Funny, when i saw the thread title, I immediately thought of the TARDIS console used during the William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton years of "Doctor Who". I thought for sure Sam Therapy would have made a comment along that vein. Silly me.
Sincerely,
Bill
